    Yeah I haven’t been bothering recently, I gotta be honest. The m0nkrus releases are just too easy haha.

    Is the hosts file hack still worth doing, or just go into Windows Firewall and take away its internet access?

      Just create an outbound firewall rule for the Photoshop exe that blocks internet access. That way it can’t phone home.

        I also blocked “%ProgramFiles% (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\HDBox\Adobe Update Helper.exe” just in case that had anything to do with it also, not sure if it matters or not, just was fed up wtih reinstalling.
