But friends, I want to inform you lovely people that 'Internet Download Managers' (IDM) developers have forced the “Automatic Update” us all of its users.

        It sends sensitive (serial / license checking) data back to their servers, that makes it update! If you want to end it, all you need to do it is simply add the following to your host file:
(following IP and websites must be blocked)
174.133.70.198 localhost
174.133.70.98 localhost
star.tonec.com localhost
=>  Go to " Internet Opotions -> Privacy -> Sites"
       now  Enter   174.133.70.98    and click Block
       again Enter   174.133.70.198  and click Block
       again Enter   star.tonec.com     and click Block

Solution 2 :-

You can edit your host file you a utility such as BarevTM Host File Editor
 you can setup your firewall to block this IP on ALL ports: 174.133.70.198 AND 174.133.70.98 AND this Host: star.tonec.com

 Solution 3 :-

                     You can Also use this software :-
                    Just download Firewall App Blocker v1.2
                    http://www.sordum.net/?p=7633

                    then drag and drop all exe files in the Internet download manager folder to the Firewall
                    App Blocker..
