"Don't let a malware attack ruin your business. A little planning and the right responses can make it a minor annoyance instead of a major catastrophe."

This is a pretty good article. The mentions how to "prepare" for and attack but I would go a step further and submit how to "prevent" an attack from ever occuring. It is possible to avoid an attack:
1) Get a firewall that used network address translation.. use network address translation
2) Use firefox
3) Don't surf shady sites: serial crack, pirated software, some porn sites, screen savers
4) Watch out for dirty downloads. Some p2p application and the wares loaded on them are loaded with trojans, worms and other malware
5) Don't surf the Internet with administrative privledeges.
