WASHINGTON -- Microsoft Corp. announced today it is creating a $5 million reward program to help law enforcement identify and convict those who illegally release worms, viruses and other types of malicious programs on the Internet.

Microsoft said the first two rewards it will offer will be for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the spread of the MSBlast.A worm and the SoBig virus unleashed earlier this year. The company offered $250,000 rewards for each.

Those two malicious programs attacked computers that ran Microsoft's Windows operating system and caused widespread problems for companies and home users earlier this year.

Microsoft executives made the announcement, flanked by representatives of the FBI, Secret Service and Interpol international police agency. Residents of any country are eligible for the rewards, officials said.

``The malicious distribution of worms and viruses ... are far from victimless crimes,'' said Keith Lourdeau, acting deputy assistant director of the FBI Cyber Division. He noted that Internet attacks have cost businesses and home users millions of dollars, with some estimates putting it into the billions.

Microsoft's software has been the target of the most serious Internet attacks over the last two years, and company founder Bill Gates has announced a ``trustworthy computing'' initiative to focus on improving the security of all of Microsoft's products.

Also, Interpol, an international law enforcement organization, will play a critical role in the program by helping the world's police forces to share information.

The role of Interpol is particularly important because the Microsoft initiative is a global one -- a cybercrime that endangers national infrastructure and individuals worldwide.

``Interpol is particularly interested in fighting the malicious spreading of viruses because this represents truly borderless crime that requires a truly global response, a global collaboration between police and private industry,'' said a statement by Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble in Lyon, France.

``This Microsoft reward program is an opportunity to continue building effective relationships between the world's police and the private sector in order to prevent and prosecute cybercrime,'' it said.

``While some might consider certain cybercrime offenses to be little more than mischief, they actually threaten the physical security of all of those who rely on technology in their lives,'' said Peter Nevitt, Interpol's Director of Information Systems and Technology.
