Just the AV, since the owner of the box does not want to update windows itself via patches.

From what he tells me, the reason is, he has alot of 'copied' software on that box, and installing M$ patches might lock up certain applications etc.... But back to my original question, does anyone know if symantec AV deals with sasser fully?

I don't think any virusscanner will prevent LSASS from being exploited. It'll probably only prevent the dropping of the files (adserve etc.). So you would be protected from infection by known versions of sasser but if the hole isn't patched anything else could still abuse it.
