I used Virustotal.com to scan my bitdefender installation file and it turned up with 2 positives, one of which was a trojan. I downloaded the bitdefender free version but it was from their website (I typed in the URL myself).

 

Here is the report: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/d246796a62fcdf5626cd1fd78e302f41dadf1063c2802df264d162776ced0d5e/detection

No its not a virus. LTT would not have ran a sponsored campaign with them if it was a scam. I personally use Bitdefender and have zero issues with it.
