try symantec's blaster removal tool http://tinyurl.com/jqdf
and try keeping your system patched and up-to-date, blaster is a few
years old now so if you actually have it you're quite far behind in your
patching regimen...

The W32.MsBlast has no relation to the Lovsan/Blaster Internet worm.
This is a AntiVir detection and was recently noted in a OCX file on a Win98 PC in a Win98
News Group. The Symantec tool will be useless.

vgrep says otherwise...

you could be right... but if so, antivir has chosen a remarkably bad
name for it...

I have spent time researching this one. I would really like to have a AntiVir declared
W32.MsBlast file to test with other vendor scanners to see if it is either a Flase Poitive
declaration or what other vendors declare it to be. AtiVir's web site is of no help.
The file that was detected in on a Win98 PC was MSWINSCK.OCX . This is is a commonly used,
benign, MS ActiveX control file that happens to be used used by several viruses and Trojans
because they are coded in MS Visual Basic and would also require Visual Basic Runtime files
to work as well as well (i.e, MSVBVM50.DLL).

well, according to vgrep win32.msblast.a *IS* blaster - since blaster is
not an ocx file it seems safe to say that at least part of antivir's
alert is false...
