[QUOTE="CyberDevil, post: 1086938, member: 91290"] Only top-level domains can be blocked in hosts, meaning it doesn't support any complex rules or links. Only acrobat.adobe.com or adobe.com. You will need a third-party firewall if you want to block these two files specifically. Eset, for example, supports this. I think it can be done in some free PortMaster, but I'm not sure. It would be easier to come up with a solution if you understand what exactly is triggering the download and how. Does it happen when you start Adobe Acrobat or whenever you restart the system?
