"a new settings file for" - receivedt it only by chance, or the first sign of a large scale spam campaign?

Today I received a mail that had the subject "A new settings file for
the (notmyownlocalpart)@t-online.de has just been released", which
according to VT contained the downloader for a trojan horse.
How many of you got them, too? Avira calls it a ZBot variant and says
it will steal banking data, see

Microsoft identifies it as FakeRean which is a fake/rogue "antivirus".
Weird.
Googling for the sequence of the first five words already provides a
considerable number of hits, and none of the linked entries seems to be
older than three weeks. Is this a new spamrun / attack of a certain
malware group?
