Office File Validation detected a problem while trying to open this file. Opening it may be dangerous

If the file fails this validation, you are notified that the document could be considered to be compromised. In Office 2003 and in the 2007 Office system, you are prompted about the file status and can decide to cancel opening the file or to continue to open the file.
