Wallpaper Engine Bans Application Wallpapers From Steam Workshop To Stop Malware

Wallpaper Engine is a brilliant tool that uses the Steam Workshop to offer custom, user-designed wallpapers at the click of a button. And these aren't just static images you could otherwise grab off Google either; many are fully animated, reactive, and even boast features like Spotify integration. However, relying on the community to build this library has proven to be a double-edged sword, as bad actors have been using the Workshop to spread malware through 'application wallpapers'—backgrounds that run .exe files directly on a user's machine.
