Hi

The theme is checked for security issues before being sent for sale, and double checked by envato before being approved, so it’s totally safe. You can check that by downloading a clean version of the theme from themeforest and scan it with an antivirus on your local computer. This could be a false positive, but please make sure that your permission for the upload folder are set properly: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions also you could contact your host provider and ask for more details in this regard.

Thanks!

Since this keeps coming up, you will likely need to make a note of this on the FAQs page, as some hosting scanners seem to think the class or hook using the phrase tds, is related to “TDS” malware.
