The installation package for Kodi 17.4 look to have been contaminated.
I have the following infection found by Kaspersky :
Kodi-17.4-Krypton-x86.exe//ssd_wv.dll
Trojan-Banker.Win32.Corebot.ff detected

Most likely a false positive for Kaspersky, as far as we can determine.
No other antivirus programs has screamed hell & damnation yet.

Isn't Kaspersky the checker that includes a Ruskie back door?

This is quite disconcerting. Any update from the devs?

Not disconcerting at all.
Some flavour scanners are just way too jumpy.
For instance, the packaging method alone triggers some (imo) inferior products like kaspersky.
I do not recommend using kaspersky anyway with what we know now.

Most AV software isn't worth using. I've found more issues over the years due to 3rd party security software trying to be cleaver than any issues they actually ever prevented
Stick to the built in AV on Windows, don't install lots of crap and keep your machine up to date. You should have an easy life.

Yep, built in Windows Defender is actually really good. Most people don't need anything else, besides a good Malware remover/protector.
