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.

Hi u/Lostmaniac9 , thanks for posting to r/WindowsHelp ! Don't worry, your post has not been removed. To let us help you better, try to include as much of the following information as possible! Posts with insufficient details might be removed at the moderator's discretion. Model of your computer - For example: "HP Spectre X360 14-EA0023DX" Your Windows and device specifications - You can find them by going to go to Settings > "System" > "About" What troubleshooting steps you have performed - Even sharing little things you tried (like rebooting) can help us find a better solution! Any error messages you have encountered - Those long error codes are not gibberish to us! Any screenshots or logs of the issue - You can upload screenshots other useful information in your post or comment, and use Pastebin for text (such as logs). You can learn how to take screenshots here . All posts must be help/support related. If everything is working without issue, then this probably is not the subreddit for you, so you should also post on a discussion focused subreddit like r/Windows . I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

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.
