Malware Downloaded from Seemingly Clean Office Documents

Bitdefender is warning Microsoft Office users of a new spam campaign that resembles a tax return, a remittance, or form of bill from a bank. The spam often carries a Microsoft Word or Excel attachment that will automatically execute a piece of malware with a macro code disguised to bypass traditional antivirus if downloaded.  Source: http://www.net-security.org/malware_news.php?id=2947
