I’m pretty sure they mean the required ID that the malicious plugins/models are requiring, not the model/plugin itself.

Just remove it from your plugins folder and restart the studio
How does roblox know what is suspicious or not?
That error comes from Kohls Admin. It happens everytime you close a playtest when you have it in your game.
This is a good first step, but there are several groups that have bots uploading assets to the site that contain malicious backdoors. Is anything going to be done about these groups? They tend to upload hundreds of modules, all requiring eachother in a big chain to hide their source code, which is also obfuscated. I would suggest making obfuscated code against the Terms of Service but that might be hard to do, and a simpler solution might be to limit the amount of modules that can be required in a row. I don’t know why any legitimate program would use more than maybe 10 to be generous.

That update has got my account, and some other innocent accounts terminated without any notice nor a warning, I myself didn’t upload any malicious assets nor models.
Will require executors places be removed too?
This is great! As long as this wont result in a lot of falsely flagged items then this will improve the marketplace a lot.
Nice to know Roblox is taking proper action for awareness! However, I don’t really think Venom is a good choice for users to use as its not only old, it isn’t up to date in the sneakiness of backdoors these days. Though its the developers choice if they want to use it.

GameGuard has proven to be a much better option from experience, but its always best to manually check your scripts rather than rely on plugins.

I found more backdoors in free models using the keyword, “getfenv”. They use this global function to obfuscate tons of things.
Thank you. Simply put: thank you.
Maybe please show us a list of malicious scripts, so we can delete those that are actually malicious in-game instead of just removing some scripts that may be needed.
Yeah. You should also look for “require” and “MarketplaceService” and “TeleportService”.
You can press
Ctrl + Shift + f
to find look for a keyword in all scripts 
In all due respect,
Preventing obfuscated code is really the worst thing Roblox can do right now. The best solution to backdoors is preventing botting. If they cannot bot models or plugins, it’ll be coniderably harder to get “games” under their infection.
The 2nd worst thing they can do right now is require captcha when adding assets to a game, please don’t do this Roblox.
Add like a Anti VPN and Proxy.

Is this complete? Because if it is, it didn’t to a good job.
Still also getting teleported in an old game.
Roblox I am very disappointed in your moderation, you literally just terminated MILLIONS of innocent developers including myself. SHAME, SHAME ON YOU ROBLOX.

Exactly what happened to me. Roblox has very poor moderation and I lost a lot of hard work.

I really like that Roblox has put the time into doing this. However, I have still noticed a few model viruses even after the “Marketplace Asset Removal” project. Despite the viruses that are still on Roblox, I think Roblox did the right thing.
This Is A Good Update. Almost All Of My Old Games (2018 - 2019) Are flooded with viruses. Almost all toolbox models i found had at least 1 virus in them
