hpHosts: New PUP classification

Previously covered by the EMD classification, I felt it time to migrate those distributing PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) to their own dedicated category (had been planning it for a while but never had time).

This has now been completed, and you can both download a new pup.txt file from the Downloads page, and have a look at them via either the Browse Database option, or by the individual sites pages.

Browse PUPs: https://hosts-file.net/?s=Browse&f=PUP
PUP Blocklist: https://hosts-file.net/pup.txt

If you have any questions, please feel free to stop by the forums.
