How To Solve IDM Fake Serial Number Pop Up 2019/2020
I have read many methods to eliminate that annoying pop up and none works definitely well.
If I download a PDF, RAR, ZIP, EXE, etc. everything works correctly and the pop up does not appear.
But if I use the download button that appears in the videos or in some audios, that's where the pop up comes back.
I will only share 2 methods, with the clarification that for the latest version (6.36 build 1) only the first work.
Method 1 Edit Host File
Go to the path C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and edit the host file with the notepad by pasting this code at the end of it:
TIP: If at any time the pop up returns, check the host file.
Malwarebytes edits it without warning and adds the '#' symbol before the lines of code to cancel them.
Method 2 Deleting and renaming files
1. Go to the IDM installation path, by default is C:\Program Files(x86)\Internet Download Manager.
2. Make a copy of the idmBroker file and paste it in the same place.
3. Remove the IDMGrHlp file.
4. Now rename the copy of the previous file (idmBroker - copy) as IDMGrHlp.
If you know any other method 100% tested with the latest versions of IDM, do not hesitate to share here.
