Are you sure?
The worm can install itself automatically through any network connection, if
it finds an unpatched machine. Either you caught it from an Internet
connection, or from a LAN one.
If the removal tool doesn't find anything, then the worm isn't running on
your computer, but it simply crashed LSASS.EXE when tried to attack your
computer. Any firewall (even the built-in one) will be a good workaround
until you do a full Windows Update.
