Microsoft's Get Smart About Security

I just saw this article in Microsoft's website.
I think most of us who still are a bit doubtful about security will appreciate it.
The article explains more about Viruses, Worms, and Trojans and their actions.
Also how they spread, and how to tell if its a Virus, or a Worm, and etc.
I like the article, and I learned a bit more from it. Here's the article from Microsoft. Enjoy!
