Within the e-mail, there is a malicious MS Office file, or a link which opens the exploit landing page.

Malicious email spam

Malicious email message. This one tricks you to open the phishing website.

Avoiding it looks pretty uncomplicated, however, still requires tons of awareness.

Simple cybersecurity knowledge is just an important thing in the modern-day world, even if your relationship with a PC stays on YouTube videos. That may save you a great deal of money and time which you would spend while looking for a fix guide.
