The popular document extensions ([B]DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PUB, PPT, PPTX, ACCDB, PDF[/B]) can be very dangerous when opened by MS Office or Adobe Acrobat Reader applications. If they are downloaded by the web browser, then MS Office 2010+ applications open those documents in 'Protected View' mode. The archived files ([B]ZIP, 7Z, ARJ, RAR, ZIPX[/B]) can be dangerous, because unarchived files usually lose the 'Mark Of The Web', which can inform applications and SmartScreen, that those files are from the Internet.
