1) You need to add some info to the hosts file to make it look like this; # Copyright (c) 1993-1999

Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost #IDM blocks 127.0.0.1 tonec.com 127.0.0.1 www.tonec.com 127.0.0.1 registeridm.com 127.0.0.1 www.registeridm.com 127.0.0.1 secure.registeridm.com 127.0.0.1 internetdownloadmanager.com 127.0.0.1 www.internetdownloadmanager.com 127.0.0.1 secure.internetdownloadmanager.com 127.0.0.1 mirror.internetdownloadmanager.com 127.0.0.1 mirror2.internetdownloadmanager.com 127.0.0.1 mirror3.internetdownloadmanager.com #IDM blocks end you can find the hosts at; C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and it opens with notepad, once you have added and saved the IDM blocks you need to restart the pc then go back to the hosts file and check all has saved, if it ha sent saved then you need to check your permissions first, there is a video to vatch for changing the hosts file. If you prefer there is a hosts file in the download that you can just paste & re place, should you have any of thethingy adobe torrents then add he IDM blocks manually after the last # . 2) Turn off your internet connection then install IDM, you can just install it o ver any older IDM versions, restart should you be asked to. 3) Once restarted open IDM and go to "registration" then "registration" and type in any first name & any last name & any email and then use any of the following serials; 2KKHJ-8311G-V8NXW-IIDYP 4Y21A-5RJD3-2ME4X-KURFC
