does not look like FP ....and most of them call it risk.tool or PUP
PUP = not a virus / Possible Unwanted Program

Its a bit coin miner (dome devs hide it in apps and make you mine coins for them) but for me I'm using it for my own benifit so how can I get rid of the block without excluding a folder?
