i downloaded something i don’t remember what, and ending up getting some malware called nwjs that opens up fake mcafee ads on my computer. anybody know how to help?
I am having this same exact problem and am in desperate need of help. I also have multiple of these files. After following what you said here is a screenshot from me after opening its file location from task manager. I also read another post under nwjs and see that someone can't adjust their brightness, and I realised I can't either. Please help me, I have no idea how to fix this issue nor am I tech savvy
H cod ghostpet,
I am Dave, I will help you with this.
Please provide gull information on this 'NWJS' malware, where exactly are you seeing it and the symptoms you are seeing.
If you are seeing that in Task Manager, right click it and select 'Open File Location', please provide a screenshot of the resulting folder.
This nwjs program appears to share a name with Nwjs.exe which is a Trojan virus, however as far as I can tell from my (admittedly limited) information these two programs are not the same. I cannot find definitive information as to whether or not this is a harmful program, however, and I have found even less information on how to safely remove it.
From what I have gathered this nwjs I am dealing with is just a javascript tool or something like that and it's ultimately harmless apart from the mental damage I get every time I see a new ad pop up. I have no idea how this got on my system, it's been on here for a good month at least I'd say.
The ad I have been getting spammed with
