Lately I notice all my video recoding jobs taking longer time than usual so I check the pc Task Manager & found Kodi's "Stream" process hoging about 1/3 of my Cpu and it is set to run automatically with Windows [can't disable it cuz I cannot find it in the Startup list] and it also running even after each time Kodi has exited. Is this a bug or some sort? Any helps would be appreciated. BTW, Kodi is awesum, great thnx to the Kodi team :-)
My pc infos::
- OS: Windows 7 x64
- Mainboard: ASRock P67 Extreme4
- RAM:: G Skill RipjawsX 8GB (DDR3-1600)
- CPU: QuadCore Intel Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (1 GB)

I don't think that comes from Kodi. We shouldn't have anything running without Kodi running, and nothing named Stream.

Thanks Ned. Sorry it is not Stream but Steam *32, my bad. Its location is C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\CODEXi

Uh. That's definitely not a default Kodi folder. I have no idea what that is or where it came from.

Steam 32 is normally simply the Steam application. Like, the thing that downloads and installs PC video games. It has its own folder and everything. I genuinely didn't even know it was possible to run an application from within appdata folders. I've never actually tried. It sounds like somebody has installed some kind of spyware on your system that is somehow managing to hide itself in the weirdest place possible.
Did you download and install Kodi from our website or from somewhere else?

Probably has to do with some pirated software on your PC...

Isn't that just the profile folder for some kodi user name CODEXi?

Yup. It seems this CODEXi malware installs itself into the subfolder of a random, but legit, application (in this case it picked Kodi) and then uses your computer (And your electrical bill) to run the math to generate bit coins for someone else. ...And god KNOWS what else it does.
