The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The antivirus engines reports zero threats from 61 scanning engines, including major ones like BitDefender and Kaspersky. This is a common Outlook message file with no suspicious behavior, signing issues, or external intel hits. Despite being it appears benign.

Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
  • behaviour=null (no sandbox data) — embedded attachments or macros in .msg file not dynamically analyzed.
  • No similarHashes[] — lacks RAG grounding from prior verdicts on matching import-table fingerprint/signer.

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 email message safe?
We found nothing harmful in this email message. None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only after checking with the sender through a phone number or address you already have.
What is this email message?
This email message is about 346.6 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 May 6, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected this email message?
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flag this email message. 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 email message?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of this email message is 7da855c87bbc5670c647586ff446ed8c62d8dfb8defd8dc5e7010068257d70fd, and its MD5 is 32989173770fa7bcbd2b619acf8f3cd4. 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 email message?
We found nothing harmful in this email message. 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 email message?
This report reflects the scan on May 6, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
