Detected the Wallpaper Engine as Virus

[Gocrodex]

When I try to open Wallpaper Engine and do a Steam update, it detects it as a virus and terminates the process, and therefore I cannot use the Wallpaper Engine program properly. It happened after the last update, I think there is a coding error...

Hello @Gocrodex, 

Welcome!

1. The File verification errors alert is not a Kaspersky alert. 
2. Look in Kaspersky REPORTS - are there any Steam OR Wallpaper engine events? 
3. Which Kaspersky version, on the Windows, Taskbar, *Hidden icons*, rightclick the Kaspersky icon, select About? 
4. Which OS & build, in Windows Search, type WINVER - post back what shows in the WINVER app please? 

Thank you🙏

please post kaspersky report

sometimes malware may hide itself using thirdparty wallpaper or game dlc/mod.....etc

I have to warn you

there are real cases in the wild that malware distribute via wallpaper engine third party resources.
