Paimon.exe -

Paimon is mechanically unique. She floats, she talks, and she is present in almost every cutscene. She is also a character that players cannot technically "play." Despite being a prominent figure, she is not a playable combat unit. This creates a demand among the player base to bridge that gap.

In these contexts, "paimon.exe" is not a specific piece of software. It is a generic name used by malware authors to disguise their payloads. Because Genshin Impact is wildly popular (over 60 million active players), naming a virus "paimon.exe" increases the chance that a distracted player will click it, thinking it is related to a patch or a fan tool. paimon.exe
