Attached is a file filename-1.doc (3/57 detection by AV vendors) which may come in many different versions, but the samples I have all have this malicious macro [pastebin] which downloads another component from the following location:

This is saved as %TEMP%\grant8i.exe and has a VirusTotal detection rate of 5/57. Automated analysis tools [1] [2] [3] [4] show it phoning home to:

Hi.
I was pretty sure that the email was spam, but I googled the name "Hector Malvido" just out of curiosity and found your website. Thank you for confirming my suspicion and for your good work. :)
