Where do I get details about detected malware in a file?

Where do I get details about Troj~DocDl-AEV?  Submitted a Word Document that was examined and said to contain this piece of malware.  When I looked at the encyclopedia it said that it was a downloader macro and was first found on some date.

That is all there was.

Nothing about if you have macros turned off in Outlook (which we do by default) if you were still at risk
Nothing about if you had to edit the document to trigger the macro. 
Nothing about what it tried to download.
Nothing.

Really hoped that Sophos would be a better job of writing up the nature of a piece of Malware than Microsoft, however it appears that you provide the barest minimum in a similar vein to them.  Do not have the poor user worry their pretty little head about where they should look to see if the macros has download some (hundred) piece(s) of malware.
