Detects process creation events where common Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) or archive/reader utilities (Acrobat, WinRAR, 7-Zip) act as the parent process to command-line interpreters, scripting engines, or administrative tools (such as cmd, powershell, wscript, cscript, mshta, rundll32, and others).
