The file is an XLS document containing VBA macros, specifically an Auto_Open macro, which is a common technique for executing malicious code upon opening. ClamAV detections indicate it is a known malware variant. The document body presents a fabricated business-related spreadsheet to trick the user into enabling macros, which then likely downloads and executes a second-stage payload.
