Hi
No, Sasser uses ports on your network connection to infect you, so it
is very unlikely that you got this one from Microsoft.
I see that KB835732 is not in the list of updates you installed, so
if you don't already have installed KB835732, you are vulnerable to
Sasser attacks.
You can install KB835732 from here:
