  1. Why circumventing software activation is a bad idea if you don't know what you're doing!
  2. Here presented is a popular way to circumvent te activation procedures of Adobe CS 5.5
  3. However, sneaky little internet terrorists, modified the file and spread it with extra holes.
  4.  
  5. # Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
  6. #
  7. # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
  8. #
  9. # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
  10. # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
  11. # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
  12. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
  13. # space.
  14. #
  15. # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
  16. # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
  17. #
  18. # For example:
  19. #
  20. # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
  21. # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
  22.  
  23. # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
  24. # 127.0.0.1 localhost
  25. # ::1 localhost
