The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

All 65 antivirus engines that checked it returned no malicious or suspicious finding, including 16 major antivirus engines. Static intelligence and extracted-child checks found no confirmed threat, although no completed sandbox run is available to verify behavior when the document is opened.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The absence of a sandbox run means there is no completed observation from the test run to verify how the document behaves when opened.
  • The one extracted child has droppedChildren.rollup.unknown=1, so it was not independently confirmed benign.
  • The missing contacted-host reputation result means no complete contacted-host reputation result is available, although the payload records no observed contacts.

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 Word document safe?
We found nothing harmful in this Word document. None of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only if you trust the person or website it came from.
What is this Word document?
This Word document is about 2.7 MB. 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 Jun 15, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected this Word document?
None of the 65 antivirus engines that checked it flag this Word document. 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 Word document?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of this Word document is 44ed480889bb8585b41cec3423aeae16b9af69566feab68cda356152482a3b56, and its MD5 is 9be3ccb01b3433af1e39fca9ed22358e. 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 Word document?
We found nothing harmful in this Word document. 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 Word document?
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.
