Answer 1

That's a genuine old node.js (2018) version.

The runtime's what you'd download from https://nodejs.org/en

Where are you seeing this file, what folder? Is it part of something you have installed?

If you want to check for malware, try KVRT from Kaspersky:

That's just a false positive. It's a genuine javascript runtime, though it has been used/abused by malware like Lu0bot.

Did you install the runtime?
