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. Other malware-filter blocklists are not affected.

A blocklist of domains that host potentially unwanted programs (PUP), based on the malware-discoverer. Blocklist is updated twice a day.
