The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this email file, including all major antivirus engines that analysed it. Our static analysis of the message found no obfuscation, encoded commands or dangerous patterns. It is and was not run in a sandbox, so links in it were not checked.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • Fresh phishing emails are often undetected at first submission, and no sandbox or link-reputation check was completed, so links inside the message were not verified.

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 37.8 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 Oct 20, 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 b244f70295b4387b1d54c2d5f290091aa3194346271555d4db4cc2b0159db0ee, and its MD5 is 062cdf4f31d95bb72d460eb1023b08c0. 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 Oct 20, 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 To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
