I manually got rid of it on my work PC with the following steps: 1) kill msblast.exe process 2) delete msblast.exe from windows/system32 3) delete msblast.exe*.pf from windows/prefetch 4) delete all registry keys with msblast in them 5) The patch from Microsoft was applied, but the next day I was re-infected after doing steps 1, 2, and 4. I repeated these steps today after adding #3 and it is not back (althought my firewall blocks port 135 hits trying to re-infect).
