Starting from 10th this month more or less, Adobe Acrobat Reader (probably, according to the file and link) has been trying to download 2 demo PDFs every day from its website through the links below.
The pdfs briefly:
Since I have Internet Download Manager, the links always toggle the IDM, then it pops out the download task window. This happens almost once every day, so quite annoying.
I tried to use hosts file, but the problem here is that:
If I use
it could block the files but it also blocks the official website for Acrobat.
If I use
it's not blocking anything.
Any way to block those files or download attempts but not Acrobat official website?
