Microsoft released a removal tool for the MSBlast worm on Monday after Internet service providers complained that home users' PCs infected with the malicious program are still causing network congestion.

"For many users in this situation, there is little indication that they are infected other than possible performance degradation," Microsoft said. "And those infected are still actively transmitting the worm, causing Internet congestion in the process."
