Ubuntu Studio includes no Anti Virus, so i have to wonder where you got
your copy? This is the official source for latest LTS:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/xenial/release/

The best way to be sure you're copy is integer is to do a checksum of
the downloaded ISO
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToSHA256SUM

AFAIK, all the code is carefully reviewed by the Ubuntu community.
Ubuntu Studio is a distribution intended to facilitate your creative
activity. Not to make you secure from the evils of cyberspace. The best
way to protect your machine and your creative production from any threat
it may attract or be exposed to, is to disconnect the production machine
from Internet. For surfing troubled waters and/or publishing sensitive
data, i would recommend using a different machine with a distro forged
for the purpose such as kali or tails; Cyber-security is much more than
a simple choice of software, it is to a certain degree a kind of hygiene.

Yours,
