so which update do you need to get round this MS03-39?

Just installing security update KB824146.

also, updated my virus definitions (Norton 2003)

Should this be enough?

Yes, KB824146 is the patch as it appears on Windows Update.

Not very consistent. WU listed the original patch as MS03-26 but shows this one under it's KB number.
