The attachments (in the format uk_conf_email_2012_dmh562810.xls) appear to be corrupt because of an error in the MIME attachment in the email, so they will either be zero length or appear to be garbage. I haven't seen any non-corrupt versions of the attachment at all. This is the second corrupt Dridex spam run today (this is the other one).

A source tells me that when repaired, the documents attempt to download a malicious binary from:

hotyo.1pworks.com/786585d/08g7g6r56r.exe
members.chello.nl/~h.pot2/786585d/08g7g6r56r.exe
w04z5e8ry.homepage.t-online.de/786585d/08g7g6r56r.exe


The payload is the same one as found here with a detection rate of 6/55. I would recommend blocking the IPs I mentioned in that post too.

If your email platform can filter on attachment content, try quarantining emails containing these words:
AutoOpen

Auto_OpenV
Document_Open
Workbook_Open
PlayMacroFromFile
wininet.dll
