You have to step back and realize that this is a completely different "breed" of virus/worm. We just finished cleaning up 1750 stations in our environment. Firewalls were blocking just fine, Windows updates running like clockwork, Antivirus updating hourly.
Our problem: In a K12 environment, the machines lay largely dormant over the summer months. With 500 laptops, teachers tend to bring them home during the summer months to play. All it takes is one laptop to come in Day 1 of school, teachers to fire up their machine (which hasn't booted since June). Your entire network floods in minute the machines are turned on...before Windows can update, before McAfee kicks in.
While CIPA was overturned for public libraries by this decision, K-12 libraries and school districts are still required to filter Internet content by July 1, 2002.
