Every day I have the same warning from my Bitdefender antivirus.

"Dangerous pages attempt to install software that can harm the device, gather personal information or operate without your consent."

Is Festinger trying to steal our data, or installing a miner, backdoor or something? Wtf?

Surely, a user from 2011, would buy the product directly if they were that concerned.
If you don't buy from the original creator, then there is always a chance something has been added.
Having said that, I doubt @Festinger Vault has added anything suspicious and that @roydan is correct, and your AV is sensitive to PUPs or the cracking/updating solution.

Thanks for reporting this! As I'm Bitdefender myself too, I can confirm this message is appearing sometimes due to a false positive. We submitted the link to Bitdefender and reported the false positive as outlined here:

You can be rest assured that all of our files are clean and 100% safe to use but sometimes the virus scans are too sensitive and we have to report it to get it fixed.

What's weird is that I haven't entered your website or used any of your products for a couple of years.

So, somehow your server makes request to my PC, trying to install things, based on my IP address, which means that it knows this address.

So I don't think it is a false-positive thing. Your server knows what he is doing.

Do you have cookies and browser data from 2 years ?!

Don't you clear your cookies and browser data every once in a while ?

Just trying to understand, how this could be possible.

Obviously not. That's why I don't understand what's going on here.
 
Play stupid games. Wins stupid prizes.

Personally fed up of this spam everywhere from discord to reddit. And it appears i’m not the only one. And considering the unapologetic spamming everywhere, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s using your sites to spam his shitty business.

How can you trust someone who’s got a risk and cost free gig going making six or seven figures a year ripping off legit wp devs but still doesn’t even have the heart to pay for a proper advertising campaign?
