Both Seagate and Western Digital have their own programs that can be used to test for hard drive health and CrystalDiskInfo is a decent program that I use when checking drives. SSD manufacturers like Intel and Samsung also have their own programs that can be used to check the status of drives.

Crystaldisk info seems good but Firefox is blocking it saying that it contains malware and viruses.  I doubt it does and I'm sure its just stupid stuff they try to get to install in the begining but I just want to be sure.

The program itself is totally fine. It could be a false positive.
