Popular Steam Wallpaper Program Removes App Over Malware Concerns
Popular Steam Wallpaper Program Removes App Over Malware Concerns https://ift.tt/ZxN0kBI Wallpaper Engine has been a popular wallpaper tool on Steam for the better part of a decade since its release. However, the tool's application wallpaper was apparently hijacked by bad actors months ago who used it to infect users' machines with malware as the desktop wallpaper program ran in the background. Now, Wallpaper Engine's application is going to be permanently removed from the program over those malware concerns. In a statement on Steam , the program's developers stated that users have a limited time to back up any wallpapers used from the application before the app is removed on Monday, July 6. The devs also note that removing the app only affects "0.5% of all wallpapers with actual user numbers being much lower than even that." "The reality is that executable files cannot be reliably secured with automated systems," reads the statement. "...
