The ".exe" extension signifies an executable file which can be run by your computer's operating system.
Ratio Master is a software that is primarily used for faking upload and download stats of a torrent to almost all Bittorrent trackers. It works by simulating a normal download/upload scenario, making it appear as though you are sharing more data than you actually are. This can help to maintain a positive ratio on sites that require it, without actually needing to upload more data.
The necessity of RM.exe depends on the user's needs. If you are a user who needs to maintain a positive ratio on torrent sites, you might find Ratio Master useful. Using such software is generally considered unethical and against the terms of service of many torrent sites.
If you find RM.exe on your system without having intentionally installed Ratio Master, it could potentially be a malicious program disguising itself as RM.exe. In such cases, it's recommended to remove it. OESIS V4 Removal by OPSWAT or OESIS V4 SDK can be used to remove such potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).
Always ensure to download software from trusted sources and keep your antivirus software updated to protect your system from potential threats.

Best practices for resolving RM issues
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with RM. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
