and you probably deleted a file that was important for wallpaper engine to work properly

if you download a virus from the workshop it will be located inside the steam workshop folder not inside the installation folder of wallpaper engine

so it's safe now right?,I just make my own wallpaper yesterday. I don't download any workshop for a longtime

Ok, I have chat with Capt.Luke, it's just a false positive confirm by him,don't forget to check out his wallpaper

Neshata Virus found?

Earlier I had a possible virus freakout and essential quarantined my pc and after I found a malware that had installed itself As an exe file on my pc I deleted it and decided to do a full malware bites scan however It seems to have found something that I had not seen through my quick scans which were 2 Neshta.Virus.FileInfector.DDS in the D:\NEW FOLDER\STEAMAPPS\COMMON\WALLPAPER_ENGINE\BINDIAGNOSTICS64.EXE folder does anyone have any idea what this is and if it’s a false positive?

Short answer: It's a false positive, the file is harmless and used by our support tool to create a system diagnostic file that we can use to provide technical support to users.

Longer answer: On the Malwarebytes website, you can see that this "virus" is not really a "virus" but rather some "aRtIfIcIaL iNtElLiGeNcE" system that tries to find suspicious behavior in files:

The Malwarebytes’ Katana engine detects unknown threats as Neshta.Virus.FileInfector.DDS by using generic detections, Machine Learning, and other Artificial Intelligence techniques to protect users from malware.

It probably does not like how the support tool reads some system information and stores them in a support log file. It considers this "an unknown virus" but the process is harmless.

We go through a very expensive and time-consuming auditing process to sign our .exe files with a security certificate but Malwarebytes doesn't seem to honor this at all (unlike other antivirus apps).
