Hi guys..!
if you want to stay away from any problem regarding IDM,
then please,.. please stop it from "updating and AutoUpdating"
and you will never face any problem.
.........................................................................................................................................................................
To stop updating , follow the solution :-
Solution 1 :-
Open the Run command (ctrl+r / windowbutton+r)
Type regedit, and press enter.
Go to :-
| HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DownloadManager |
something
like e.g.:
[10 /22/16 ] |
But friends, I want to inform you lovely people that 'Internet Download Managers' (IDM) developers have forced the “Automatic Update” us all of its users.
It sends sensitive (serial / license checking) data back to their servers, that makes it update! If you want to end it, all you need to do it is simply add the following to your host file:
(following IP and websites must be blocked)
174.133.70.198 localhost=> Go to " Internet Opotions -> Privacy -> Sites"
174.133.70.98 localhost
star.tonec.com localhost
now Enter 174.133.70.98 and click Block
again Enter 174.133.70.198 and click Block
again Enter star.tonec.com and click Block
Solution 2 :-
You can edit your host file you a utility such as BarevTM Host File Editor
you can setup your firewall to block this IP on ALL ports: 174.133.70.198 AND 174.133.70.98 AND this Host: star.tonec.com
Solution 3 :-
You can Also use this software :-Just download Firewall App Blocker v1.2

then drag and drop all exe files in the Internet download manager folder to the Firewall
App Blocker..
