Thanks, but there was no harm done in the end, and it did serve to make me more careful.

I'm familiar with VirusTotal, but did not think of using it before I deleted the offending email with its attachment and all.

I became so suspicious, that last week I deleted a bunch of emails from CEO, because it came via the new attendance system...
Not that it matters after all - I do not use that system, so it was sent to me by mistake anyway...

Look on the bright side - at least you had the backup. Most non-professionals don't even have one.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

But in my defense, I use my home PC only for gaming and paying bills, and also I'm notoriously lazy.

I read about this yesterday on ZDNet, it's probably not a macro, but an image (install Silverlight) that points to a Visual Basic Script instead of a URL which installs the keylogger. Details:

Which is why you change the .vbs file association to open with Notepad instead of WScript.
Still doesn't hurt to disable macros, though, since some ransomeware still uses them.

When Houdini used trap doors in his act, was it just a stage he was going through?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
