The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
All 75 engines returned clean results and the file type matches a previously confirmed safe spreadsheet. The sample is rare and brand new, but nothing in the evidence suggests malice.
Zero malicious detections from 75 engines, including 17 tier-1 engines, eliminates any engine-based threat signal. The single similar-hash match on another .xlsx file also returned safe under the same commodity-software reason code. External-intel sources (CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, YARAify) are silent, and no sandbox, dropped-children or contacted-host data exists to contradict that picture. While the file is rare and first-seen today, the complete absence of indicators across every available dimension supports a safe determination.
What We Detected
75 antivirus engines scanned the file; none produced a malicious or suspicious result. The spreadsheet is an ordinary Office Open XML document with no macros or embedded objects flagged.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox execution data, dropped children, or external host contacts are available. External intelligence sources returned zero hits.
What To Do Now
The file can be opened with standard Office security settings enabled. Keep endpoint protection active; no further action is required based on current evidence.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- prevalence.classification=rare_new and ageDays=0 means the file has almost no history; absence of detections could simply reflect lack of exposure rather than proven 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 75 engines
- Prior .xlsx file of same type previously marked safe
Open the spreadsheet normally; current evidence indicates it is benign.
Behavior
Plain-English impact first, then the observed runtime evidence.
Runtime behavior was not available
The report does not treat a missing runtime observation as a clean result.
Detection & Forensics
Consensus, attribution, signatures, code structure, prevalence, and identity.
Detection sources at a glance
The available sources did not agree on a named threat category.
MalwareBazaar, YARAify, and CIRCL hashlookup completed and returned no entries for this hash.

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.
