notieced since a few days ago, this app is running background.  not sure if its legit app for adobe.

Node.js JavaScript Runtime

location is here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud Experience\libs

 

i want to make sure this is not malware or spyware...   i am not tech savvy but enough to know to stay alert any new activityies as i noticed that i saw this app pop (green logo) up time to time (appear and disappear in a secon) so i went task manager to see what is running background and found this...

 

Please advise if its safe or what to check if its legit.

 

Thank you.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

      thank youfor the feedback. i saw the related community conversation but my question is slightl different.  i am asking if this progrm is legit not scam or anything.  the rason i am asking i clicked phisging email that asking my onedrive credential which i didnt provide. yes i clicked the link. i am a bit paranoid for any new app running bacckground.  so i need someone tell me this is legit to run background unless its not.

      Thank you.  My challenge is that i know how to scanned and view task manager  but i cant tell which one looks ok or not in task manager. ths particular item Node.js JavaScript Runtime - not sure this name validates me if its legit.  or what do i look for if its really legit. location, publisher, exe...?


      the name isn't a determining factor.
