Why Suspicious? A community rule for known malware matched it; nothing else confirms it.

Limited evidence · One sign points to a problem; nothing else confirms it.

Don't run it until you know where it came from

If it came from a link, an attachment or a stranger, delete it.

What to do now4 steps

Some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. Treat it with caution.

What to do

  1. Don't run it unless you're sure where it came from.

  2. Check where you got it: an unexpected attachment, a link someone sent you or a re-upload is a red flag.

  3. If you can't confirm where it came from, delete it. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.

If you already ran it

  1. Stop using it, run a full scan with your antivirus and watch for unexpected behavior or security alerts.

Not sure what to do?

Ask the MalwareTips community before you run it. If you already ran it, follow the cleanup guide.

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this file, and the sandbox runs showed a WebView-based desktop application with no injection into other processes. However, eight community rules aimed at stealer and ransomware patterns matched it, and it carries no code signature identifying its author.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • The RustyStealer rules match Rust toolchain and crate-path artefacts that many legitimate Rust desktop applications share, and the sandbox runs only showed an embedded-browser app writing its own profile data, so the file may well be benign.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

What the test run showed

What the file did on a test computer

Confirmed in the test run

  • Moderate concern: Contains packed or scrambled code that is harder to inspect (common in installers too).

  • Moderate concern: Ran commands or a script on the test computer.

  • Moderate concern: Checked whether it was running on a test computer.

  • Note: Read the user name of the test computer.

  • Note: Listed the programs running on the test computer.

  • Note: Talked to servers over the internet during the test run.

  • Note: Read basic details of the test computer, such as its Windows version.

Sandbox labels we could not confirm (common in safe files too)

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as code injection, but no injected program was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as recording keystrokes; no keylogging was confirmed.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as weakening security settings; no setting change was recorded.

  • Not confirmed: A sandbox rule tagged this run as changing how Windows loads code; nothing confirms it.

This file was run on a test computer (a sandbox), not on yours. Labels we could not confirm are listed so you can see them, but they are not treated as evidence against the file.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is Nexomia.exe safe, or is it malware?
Nexomia.exe is rated Suspicious: some signs point to a problem, but nothing confirms it is harmful. No antivirus engine flags it; the caution comes from other evidence, such as who made it, how widely it is used or what it did in a test run. Don't run it unless you're sure where it came from. If you need the program, download it again from the publisher's own website.
What is Nexomia.exe?
Nexomia.exe is a Windows program, about 17.3 MB. Its version information says it is “Nexomia.win”. Version information is written by whoever built the file, so it is a claim, not proof of who made it. VirusTotal first saw it on Jul 25, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected Nexomia.exe?
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag Nexomia.exe. A clean antivirus result is not proof of safety; the caution comes from other evidence, such as who made it, how widely it is used or what it did in a test run.
I already downloaded and ran Nexomia.exe — what should I do?
No infection is confirmed: the rating is a caution, not a malware finding. 1) Check where it came from. If you can't confirm the source, delete it. 2) Run a full scan with your security software. 3) If the scan finds something, follow its removal steps and change passwords you typed on the device since then.
What is the SHA-256 hash of Nexomia.exe?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of Nexomia.exe is 35aec247abc007311e3f3584157ca1da956d307eee57c9ced36cdefe68df5fa7, and its MD5 is 411e27893f6e210f32cea7e28662adb2. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
How up to date is this analysis of Nexomia.exe?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 21, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
