The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
No antivirus engine flagged the file. The xlsx format is not code-signed, and the sample is too new to have a reputation history.
All 74 engines returned clean results, including 16 tier-1 engines. The file is an ordinary spreadsheet with no sandbox execution data or external-intel hits. While the file is brand new and therefore lacks a long reputation trail, the complete absence of detections across a broad engine set outweighs the limited exposure.
What We Detected
74 engines scanned the file; none returned a malicious or suspicious result. The file is a 39 kB Office Open XML spreadsheet (.xlsx) first submitted today.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox execution data is available. No domains, IPs, or dropped children were recorded. External intelligence sources (CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, YARAify) contain no matching records.
What To Do Now
The file can be opened with standard spreadsheet software. Keep endpoint protection enabled and avoid macros if prompted.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- prevalence.classification=rare_new and ageDays=0 means the file has no established reputation; absence of detections could simply reflect lack of exposure rather than confirmed safety.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- Zero detections from 74 engines
- No external intelligence hits
Open the spreadsheet normally; no further action required.
Behavior

How widely this file has been seen
Barely seen in the wild and first surfaced recently. That limits reputation evidence, but rarity alone is not proof of malware.

What to do now
This file appears low risk based on the evidence available now.
Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
A clean result reduces known risk, but it cannot guarantee that every new or targeted threat has been detected.
Keep your antivirus and Windows updates switched on so you stay protected.
Safety FAQ
- PokeCottage-ASCENDED-HEROES-Master-Set-Checklist.xlsx appears safe. 0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged it. Open it only when its sender or download source is one you independently trust.
- PokeCottage-ASCENDED-HEROES-Master-Set-Checklist.xlsx is a document file (application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet), about 39 KB. Our analysis did not identify a verdict-driving threat signal. A file's name can be reused by different files, so we identify it by its cryptographic hash (below).
- None — 0 of 74 antivirus engines flagged PokeCottage-ASCENDED-HEROES-Master-Set-Checklist.xlsx. That's reassuring, though it is not proof that a file is safe, so we also weigh its behaviour, identity, and reputation.
- The SHA-256 hash of PokeCottage-ASCENDED-HEROES-Master-Set-Checklist.xlsx is 41a162ea09164f813fbe8b7fc492593232e60c35937cb990501eafef0b9af1bc, and its MD5 is c7ef539b0cbb74bdc7e12a0bb94d2584. This hash is the file's unique fingerprint — two files with the same SHA-256 are identical. Use it to confirm you're looking at exactly this file (not just one with the same name) when comparing against antivirus databases or a download's published checksum.
- Based on the recorded evidence, PokeCottage-ASCENDED-HEROES-Master-Set-Checklist.xlsx has a low observed risk. The important caveat is source: make sure you downloaded it from the official website or a trusted store, because attackers sometimes distribute malware-laced copies under a legitimate file's name. If your own antivirus flags it, verify the source and the exact hash before overriding the warning.
- This report reflects the scan run on July 25, 2026. Because a file's hash never changes, the identity of PokeCottage-ASCENDED-HEROES-Master-Set-Checklist.xlsx is fixed — but antivirus coverage improves over time, so a file that looks clean today can pick up detections later (and vice-versa).
