webmaster1 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 A friend has stupidly tried to install a bootleg version of Photoshop CS5 on my computer. After uninstalling it and a little further research online I read an edit made to one of my system files is supposed to ping Adobe with my IP address. The edited file: host The edited file's location: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc The edits: Addition of Adobe IPs Is this something I can fix or do I need to be worried?

Daniel0 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 The edit to the hosts file would be to prevent Photoshop from calling home by making the domain where the activation servers are hosted on resolve to an invalid IP address.
