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

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

What is the NWJS virus and how can I protect my computer from it? • Physics Forums
February 9, 2024 - That icon and process is linked to the nw.js project, which is a NodeJS container that is bundled in a sandboxed chromium environment. I've actually contributed to this codebase a long time ago. So it could be that you're using a program that is deployed as an application with nwjs, or it could be that it's an actual virus that has an icon and process name of nwjs.

Bought myself a new computer and transferred some of my videos across by usb but they would not play so bring the novice computer person am thought maybe the codecs were not up to date so I downloaded a codec pack.

I am guessing it must have had some sought of virus since now while surfing the internet I get random popups. Go to task manager and see that nwjs is running however when I click end task it disappears only to reappear when I start browsing again.
