I successfully placed GenP in the C drive. However, this is my host update log.

After running the program, I checked the host file again, and it had been restored to its original state.

ADVANCED METHOD (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have a question. I'm using the ADVANCED METHOD method to automatically update the hosts file.

I see it updates the hosts file every three hours to check for errors and omissions.

However, I'm wondering if checking every three hours might negatively impact my computer's performance?

Could I change the update time to once a day at 12 PM?

I have been using GenP along with a daily automated update of the hosts file to patch Adobe Acrobat. However, after a few days, I noticed that opening a PDF would immediately cause the program to crash.

I also blocked the following files in the firewall: • Acrobat.exe - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat • AcroCEF.exe - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\AcroCEF • AcroCEF.exe - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\acrocef_1
