try a cleanser/polish called "bar keeper's friend". i had the same problem and bought some of this stuff. all you have to do is gently scrub it off... it works like magic.
here's a link to the product:

There is one good and very cheap product you can use for removing rust and it happens to be a can of Coca Cola. I didn't believe it until I tried it myself. Just place the knives on a cooking pan or in a tall glass and pour the coke over them and leave them over night the rust stains will be gone. I added the web address of a video demonstartion and article on usefull tips. Note: There are diffrent types of stainless steel the 300 series 400 series the 420 is the most commonly used and there some over 420 those tend to develope rust stain over time but with carefull maintenance they wont, the 400 series are good but the best would be the 300 (most expensive) The knives only have stainless inscribed but they don't say what series they are. One good way to determine what series they are is using a strong magnet kind of like the ones in your speaker or in your earphones or a magnet you put on your fridge. A MAGNET WILL NOT STICK ON 300 SERIES STAINLESS AND WILL NEVER RUST, if you feel slight magnetizem but not strong enough to stick it's 400 to 420 series. If it sticks its probably 430 and it would probably rust if not taken well care of. If it has a very strong magnetizm then it's NOT STAINLESS. I work in a manufacturing company and we use diffrent types of steels so I know about these things. Hope this helps you out.

not good! I always thrown mine out! I mean you can hide the rust for a while but that stuff is still getting into your system!
It sucks to toss good silverwear.. but that's my recomdation!
and if you buy a nother costly set! heck they are all costly in my eyes! but wash by hand! don't use a dishwasher unless you want to watch it like a hawk when it's done unload the silverwear!
Good luck!

I had the same problem...a friend told me to soak them if VERY hot water. The next time you put them in the dishwasher, have the "heat dry" setting on them.

Try Brillo or SOS pads.
Sounds like you got taken. Have them replaced under warranty.

Test them with a magnet, if it sticks they are not made from stainless honest. Take them back.
