I use a socks proxy for downloads in IDM so blocking the IP's in my firewall does not work.

Is there anyway to use the proxy for IDM downloads but still block the IP's that cause the "Fake serial" popup?

I use Putty to connect to the proxy server.

Thanks,

Mike

My firewall in my main system is WFC. I've been using firewall method for keeping IDM registered for more than 7 months now.

This time I decided to configure PRIVATE FIREWALL, installed in my very old Windows XP laptop, in order to utilize the firewall method for IDM registration there too.

Here is instruction what I've done - step by step :

1. Open PRIVATE FIREWALL -----> APPLICATIONS tab

Find INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANAGER entry there and double-click on it.

2. After double-clicking on INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANAGER entry the APPLICATION RULES window opens :

In order to add new rule - click ADD NEW... button in lower right corner of the window.

3. ADD/EDIT RULE window opens. Now we can create ALLOW RULE and when ready - click OK.

4. Once more click ADD NEW... button in lower right corner of the APPLICATION RULES window.
ADD/EDIT RULE window opens. Now we can create BLOCK RULE .

Fill all fields in of the window according to the ....

At last click ADD... button under small inner window on the right.

5. ADD SITES little window opens. Put the first of IPs from dcs18 list in a field as shown on the picture below and click ADD.

Repeat procedure specified in # 4 and # 5 for all remaining IPs.

6. When all IPs are properly entered click OK at the bottom of ADD/EDIT RULE window

7. APPLICATION RULES window looks now like on the picture below :

Click OK on the bottom of the window.

Your PRIVATE FIREWALL is now configured to block adverse IDM connections.

...........................................................................................................................................................

8. As a last step it's worth checking if IDM is properly blocked.

In order to do that click CHECK FOR UPDATE button in ABOUT INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANAGER window.

If what you get looks like on the picture below (IDM isn't able to connect to the server) - it means firewall configuration was done properly.

GOOD LUCK !

Hell Noooooooooooooooo

I think 184.172.99.153 is killing my IDM reg.

How come that for everyone 23 IP's are enough???????

But for me after 10 minutes fake serial is coming

I DID everything what you wrote dcs18.

I mean I cleaned EVERYTHING!!!!

Till this build 10, I HAD NO problem with firewall method!

I dont understand...

I also block IP's with KIS and also with peerblock!!!

There sure is a way to block IPs when using a proxy for IDM - however, it is beyond the purview of the tutorial at the OP.

I suggest using any other easier method, for you.

i have same problem.. when i'm downloading, fake pop-up keep appear.

done everything from the scratch, uninstall, clean reg, reinstall.

still..

then I check my registry.. these one unable to delete. even manually.

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{7B8E9164-324D-4A2E-A46D-0165FB2000EC}]

is that one possibly the culprit??

Maybe its you....You need to be competent to use the firewall method....But I'm sure you are, it has its flaws.

Firstly, before trying to use the IDM_Cleaner.REG, did you ensure that IDM is not running as a background process, by killing it through your Task Manager.

Secondly, did you run IDM_Cleaner.REG with Administrative privileges?

Guys, I am creating a batch file to clean up the IDM registry contamination - so, please be patient.

If someone feels that they can do a swell job with the batch file - then, we want to hear from them.

yea, i kill everything related to it.

ofc, with admin prev.

i even try to delete that key in safe mode. but failed.

i try to check update in idm, and it failed.. so, I think 23 IPs is what's needed.

btw, that fake pop-up didn't kill idm and my registration. it just show up.

I re-register and nothing happen, I click cancel and nothing happen too.

it even didn't interupt my download.

my idm still in full registered. so weird.

The early patches had the same problem IDM was fully working but the pop kept appearing....The latest patches have rectified that now :)

To decontaminate your registry search for the Visual Protect 3.5+ key, using TrashReg (Registry Trash Keys Finder - Full.)

After deleting the Visual Protect 3.5+ key, you can follow the tutorial to fix your IDM (if you wish to.) :)

Yes is ok now after using Registry Trash Key Finder.....

Delete the Visual Protect 3.5+ key :-

And then register again :-

My post was just an illustration of how it appears in my system and doesn't neccessarily means the Visual Protect Key3.5+ would be in the same location for all the computers worldwide. Thats' why you guys need to use the Registry Trash Keys Finder yourself and find this key. Free version is enough to unearth this key.

Thanx dcs18 :notworthy:
