False report on www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/, just to alert.
Hello!
(Please read this stuff in brackets first, to take matters further I will on the Weekend actually accept all of this adware to see the damage it can cause for a inexperienced user. Then I can properly decide if unblocking this website is worth it. Thanks)
Since my laptop have been overheating, I was reccomended 'CoreTemp' but only to find when I clicked on the link Firefox blocked it for 'Unwanted Software'. I ignored the message and downloaded the Installer to see what the problem was and it was clear: The installer was bundled with many peices of adware
I want to claim this report as a false positive because it is not the creators fault or the websites that cause people to get infected, its their responsiblity to click 'Cancel' on all the junkware it tries to install. Therefore, it is the peoples job to stop the PUP's and PUM's from being installed in the first place. However, if Mozilla still thinks that the block shall remain on the website, that's totally fine. I just wanted to alert you all that CoreTemp is a legitimate program and that it isn't malicious. Just remember to untick the adware :) http://prntscr.com/89qi30 http://prntscr.com/89qi84 http://prntscr.com/89qidd http://prntscr.com/89qikz (All the stuff it attempts to bundle)

Mozilla/ Firefox does not block websites. Your anti-virus/firewall or add-on(s) may be doing so.
No, my security settings does. All users should already have Block reported websites on anyway.
It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you into installing not only their program, but other programs as well. You have heard of the fine print in shady contracts, right? Well, some installers you need to look at the itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print. You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using the recommended option. But if you use the Manual Option Instead, you discover all kinds of stuff that you do not even know what it is or what it does. From now on, everyone needs to Use The Manual Option to put a stop to this.
Indeed, I'm currently recording the outcome of IF you accept all of those offers. So far theres a few PUP's and a trojan. MSIL.Dropper :/
