You don't have to run on a production machine, you can run on any
machine with ClamAV installed.
What it does is this:
Lookup the signature for XF.Sic.E, and then print the signature in a
human readable form (i.e. decode the hex-signature, etc.).

That doesn't mean its clean:
 - it could be a file that was infected, later cleaned, but part of the
malicious payload still being left behind
 - it could be a file that the other AV missed
 - if the file is not confidential, try uploading the file to
virustotal.com to see what other AVs have to say about it
