Nwjs.exe malware - how do i get rid of it? - Archive - Norton Community
April 25, 2022 - A few weeks ago I started getting a malware popup that keeps wanting me to purchase McAfee Virus Protection software. I can easily get rid of it but it's an annoyance that should not be occurring. It seems to be the result of a "nwjs.exe" program. Need some suggestions on how to get rid of it.

r/WindowsHelp on Reddit: What is this nwjs program and how do I delete it?
April 27, 2023 -

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
