The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Doc.Trojan.Nottice-1. It contains VBA macros, including AutoOpen and Auto_Close, indicating an attempt to execute code automatically. The macros likely establish persistence by writing to the registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\IAccessible2Proxy, a common technique for malware to ensure it runs on system startup.
