First step was scan the file itself ... If a case of a data-damaging trojan
that does not try to spread through data files, it wont show up in data -
next is to scan the application and preferably the whole system.

If the specialized tool doesnt help, i'm skeptical with respect to
simple/generic ones, but still curious if found any text with less(1).

7. copy file to .docx, OOo-3
8. encryption inside file?
9. compression inside file?
10. what does file(1) say?
