RE: Symantec has released an MSBLast removal tool.

It looks like CA also has released a removal tool.  The SANS Diary at 
http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?date=2003-08-11

Here is the excerpt from that URL:

Once you are infected, we highly recommend a complete rebuild of the site. 
As there have been a number of irc bots using the exploit for a few weeks 
now, it is possible that your system was already infected with one of the 
prior exploits. Do not connect an unpatched machine to a network.

If you can not do this and/or the computer resides on a protected or 
non-Internet connected network, then several Anti-Virus Venders have 
supplied tools to assist in removing the worm. However, these tools can not 
clean-up damage from other RPC DCOM malware such as the recent sdbot irc 
bots. This method of cleaning your system is _not_ recommended, but the 
URLs are presented below for completeness.
