It appears that this is a "stand alone" and you do not need NAV to run it. Check here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html

I will say that they are correct in urging you to stop "system restore" before removing this. I had a virus the other day (first in a long time) that I tried to delete using NAV, but couldn't because of system restore. Once I disabled system restore and booted into safe mode, I was able to get rid of it. Good luck!

My niece has this worm on her Compaq laptop. She has downloaded the security patch, disabled the system restore, run the fixblast.exe (which said the program was terminated), enbabled system restore and then rebooted.

When she did a search, she STILL has MSblast.exe (2 of them, in fact, one modified at 12:15 PM EST) on her hard drive.......any ideas????
