And that's why it's back in form of viruses. Never trust anything sent in your inbox.

I've already received one, immediately catched in spam folder. I just got curious about the ZIP file, so I downloaded and run scan through the content and carefully extract its content. It was “matroska” ZIP, with another ZIP containing final Word document infected by a macro virus. I just thought to myself “Oh look, new macro virus!” It has been a long while since 1999 when the Word and Excel macro viruses striked first and in 2003 they have been replaced by malware infected programs instead. Actually, I am pretty happy macro viruses returned back :) It was a bit shame that today viruses did not participate through infected Word documents, so it's nice to see the return :)
