I'm using AVG Antivirus and it keeps detecting the malware Python:Nukesped-I [Trj] in many of the video add-ons (i.e. Loop, etc.). I'm not even using the add-ons but it detects it when Kodi tries to access it (install, etc.).

I know I can exclude directories or files from the scan but worried these are true malware that have been accidentally infiltrated. Has a scan been run on all of the addons of the build? Has this issue been brough up before?

Thank you in advance for your help.

This is common with addons the obfuscate their code. They do this so its harder for other people to copy their addons, or to hide API keys. Your antivirus will quarantine these addons and cause them not to work. Most likely nothing to worry about. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/python-program-obfuscation-tool-yuancheng-liu-8nauc#:~:text=Program%20obfuscation%20is%20a%20technique,engineer%2C%20while%20preserving%20its%20functionality.
