Is botisimo-agent-exe a Virus?

botisimo-agent.exe is safe when obtained from official Botisimo sources. If you encounter the executable in an unexpected folder, without a Botisimo signature, or with unusual network behavior, treat it as suspicious and verify its legitimacy. Always confirm publisher, path, and hashes before allowing activity on your system.

How to Verify Legitimacy

1. Check File Location: Verify the file is located at C:\Program Files\Botisimo\botisimo-agent.exe (or the default install path) and not in a temp or user-writable folder.
2. Verify Digital Signature: Right-click botisimo-agent.exe, open Properties, and confirm the publisher is Botisimo LLC with a valid certificate.
3. Check File Hash: Compute SHA256 of the executable (e.g., via PowerShell: Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 -Path 'C:\Program Files\Botisimo\botisimo-agent.exe') and compare with the official hash published by Botisimo.
4. Scan for Malware: Run a full system scan or a targeted scan of the path using Windows Defender or your antivirus to detect tampering or related malware.

Why is it Running?

Reasons it's running:

• Required for real-time Botisimo features: The agent maintains live connections to Botisimo servers to deliver chat alerts, widgets, and live presence updates.
• Startup and background operation: It launches with Windows to ensure Botisimo services are ready when you start streaming or chatting.
• Active widgets and event processing: If you enable stream overlays or chat widgets, the agent processes events continuously, which can increase resource use during activity.
• Privacy-conscious data handling: The agent only transmits activity related to Botisimo features and does not expose personal data beyond your Botisimo account and configured settings.
• Updates and health checks: The agent may perform periodic updates and health checks to ensure compatibility with Botisimo servers and new features.
