The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

All 57 antivirus engines that checked it returned no malicious or suspicious classification for this plain-text document, including the reporting major antivirus engines. No external-intelligence source identified the hash, although runtime and contacted-host checks were unavailable.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • The file is rare and with 1 submitter and 1 submission means the file has little reputation history.
  • The absence of a completed sandbox run and the missing contacted-host reputation result leave activity in the test run and contacted-host reputation unobserved.

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 text file safe?
We found nothing harmful in this text file. None of the 57 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only if you trust the person or website it came from.
What is this text file?
This text file is about 19.9 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 Aug 30, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected this text file?
None of the 57 antivirus engines that checked it flag this text file. 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 text file?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of this text file is 60dca92ee7650c062d6a8ce14d7c38dc1d6d24860b7ec5456f80a905a11cd44f, and its MD5 is bced92c45215e9fe323d9bc16e54a002. 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 text file?
We found nothing harmful in this text file. 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 text file?
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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
