Getting off topic here folks. Please keep it to the Wallpaper issue. I believe there is another thread on virus scanners in Linux in the Forums. Thanks :)

@Jocklad...
A good question... Ask 10 people, you will probably get 11 opinions... :)
If you watch the youtube video posted by vagnerafonso,
It appears that malware can impact Linux, but how often & what scenario created that situation in the demo..??
If you still run windows and share files across distros, you could vulnerable.
If you only run Linux, you could say "Well I'm O.K"...
BUT being a good citizen you don't want to pass anything on to a Windows user/friend from Linux do you..??
So, given it's a "almost" a "set it and forget" with ClamAV,
I'm tending to err on the side of caution and will probably use it.

Greetings All,
I can safely say that the lessen learned from all this is that it's probably not a good idea to randomly download images/pictures and use them as wallpapers. Especially if we don't know the sources. A lot of these images/pictures are downloaded from different sources and are shared everywhere. It would be better to create our own wallpapers or take screen shots of the images/pictures that we like, save them to our computers and use those as wallpapers instead.
