You're a major league chump -- in fact, possibly a record holder
of chumpitude -- who doesn't understand most of the semi-technical details
you spam everywhere. No, you didn't provide the Word doc; your copyright
violation to original material ratio told us that already. But as you are
a complete and utter fool, it would surprise no one if you in your idiocy
passed on a compromised Word doc.

Never click links to *.doc files - the script kiddies have just too much

-Word won't run any macros etc automatically, and the newer versions of
Office won't run them at all by default.

Of course if you're using Office 95 or something ancient like that it's

Not only that, but you can't draw conclusions based on the "extension",
since the Web didn't originate in the Microsoft world, and thus doesn't
understand extensions. There's nothing that prevents a web server from
serving you a Word document named foo.xyz (or even foo.jpg) with the mime
type application/ms-word.
Vice versa, a *.doc file might just as well be an image or html. If you
don't trust the web server in the first place, trusting the "extensions" is
rather silly :-)

There are many different kinds of doc files, true enough, but then there are
more types of EXE as well, and I would not suggest running any of those
either...

So far images are fairly safe (outside of possibly being used to ID your
computer and more by being in your cache), but embedded tags are becoming
more robust with each generation...
