The file is a Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro, which is a common technique for initial execution. ClamAV signatures indicate it is a known trojan. The document body presents rules for a rib cook-off contest, likely a lure to encourage users to enable macros. The Document_Open macro is designed to execute malicious code upon opening the document.
