# PUP Domains Blocklist Update (2023-05-10): Daily update of this blocklist has been paused while waiting for the upstream maintainer to complete migrating https://github.com/zhouhanc/malware-discoverer to https://malwarediscoverer.com. No ETC is given. See [issue #2](https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/pup-filter/-/issues/2). Other malware-filter blocklists are not affected. - Formats - [URL-based](#url-based) - [Domain-based](#domain-based) - [Hosts-based](#hosts-based) - [Domain-based (AdGuard Home)](#domain-based-adguard-home) - [URL-based (AdGuard)](#url-based-adguard) - [URL-based (Vivaldi)](#url-based-vivaldi) - [Dnsmasq](#dnsmasq) - [BIND zone](#bind) - [RPZ](#response-policy-zone) - [Unbound](#unbound) - [dnscrypt-proxy](#dnscrypt-proxy) - [Tracking Protection List (IE)](#tracking-protection-list-ie) - [Snort2](#snort2) - [Snort3](#snort3) - [Suricata](#suricata) - [Splunk](#splunk) - [Compressed version](#compressed-version) - [Reporting issues](#issues) - [FAQ and Guides](#faq-and-guides) - [CI Variables](#ci-variables) - [License](#license) A blocklist of domains that host potentially unwanted programs (PUP), based on the [malware-discoverer](https://github.com/zhouhanc/malware-discoverer).
