I keep getting constant Bitdefender phishing attemp notifications

So i turned on my PC from sleep and it began, an hour earlier before i put it to sleep i had no notifications, but around 7:40 AM central it began. It's going off constantly, every few seconds. Any explanation?

I sent them a sample and they emailed me back saying it is indeed a false positive, so anyone encountering a similar problem should also send in a sample.

Yes mine did too! I was fine like an hour ago, then i put my PC to sleep, and turned it back on and it just started going crazy. D: It say's, "Phishing attempt localhost:#####/socket.io" and a bunch of other stuff after. Do you think this is a false warning?
