The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including 17 major antivirus engines, and no malware-specific external intelligence matched it. It is non-executable HTML content containing embedded JavaScript, however, and no sandbox or complete network-reputation evidence is available, so open it only in a patched browser or text editor.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • The file is and has only one submission, so reputation and prevalence are not yet established.
  • Its content is HTML with embedded JavaScript despite a .txt extension, which warrants care when opening it in a browser.
  • No sandbox execution or complete contacted-host reputation check is available, leaving runtime and network behavior unverified.

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 61 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only if you trust where it came from.
What is this text file?
This text file is about 104.1 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 10, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected this text file?
None of the 61 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 fc10e90b26ad76115e66de8b3f290c38612e5b7044c595ee889211fc5c725617, and its MD5 is 82caa824a4b4a71c0379aa8ba38393a5. 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 Oct 10, 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.
