The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

All 47 antivirus engines that checked it avoided a malicious or suspicious designation, including the major antivirus engines that completed analysis. No threat-intelligence or static rule-based corroborated harmful content, but the spreadsheet is recently observed and has no completed the test run.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The file is rare and newly seen: the file was first submitted on Sep 3, 2026 and has only one recorded submission, so reputation is not established.
  • No completed sandbox run was recorded and no contacted-host reputation result was saved: activity in the test run and contacted-host reputation were not assessed.
  • Several engines timed out or failed, including BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Kaspersky, Avast, and AVG.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is this Excel spreadsheet safe?
We found nothing harmful in this Excel spreadsheet. None of the 47 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only if you trust the person or website it came from.
What is this Excel spreadsheet?
This Excel spreadsheet is about 43.3 kB. Its original file name is hidden on this page for privacy, so we identify it by its SHA-256 fingerprint. VirusTotal first saw it on Sep 3, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected this Excel spreadsheet?
None of the 47 antivirus engines that checked it flag this Excel spreadsheet. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
What is the SHA-256 hash of this Excel spreadsheet?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of this Excel spreadsheet is 3f4f5929be6410f6c648257e51b166d25a44ace311b45570f08d4e3fd8db3958, and its MD5 is 8d13443eced4441db09a589481ede395. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to open this Excel spreadsheet?
We found nothing harmful in this Excel spreadsheet. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of this Excel spreadsheet?
This report reflects the scan on Sep 8, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
