Hmm.. I'd like to know why the ISP's are incapable of firewalling the virus to 
keep it inside their own network - heck, why do they even let it get off the 
customers machine?! The sooner ISPs start firewalling "home" connections, the 
better imo! :)

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.

Microsoft's aim in releasing the latest tool is to reduce the amount of
traffic being born by ISPs by cleaning up a significant number of home
computers.
