Hello Folks. Do any of you know what Activate.Adobe.com is ? It appears on my Process Hacker Network list as a local address appended to various other processes such as: mbamservice.exe (1704) also: svchost.exe. (various) yet there is nothing comes up in any search either on my system or on Bing searches.
when I open the 'Network' page in Process Hacker that shows network activity I see Activate.Adobe.com sometimes three or four times in the list as earlier examples I posted.
I tried to post a screenshot but I'm afraid I don't know how the system works because it is asking for a url
here's a screenshot that explains everything.. I think.
Thank-you David... yet again!
activate.adobe.com is the address used when Photoshop, After Effects etc calls home to check the validity (or not) of the installation. If that url is blocked in any way, it's a sign of pirated PS.
Hi Jed. Thank-you: I don't quite understand why it does that when I have a kosher CS6 but never-mind, what I really don't get is why there is a connection with MBAM and why there are multiple entries at any given time. One entry, not shown, is from Logitech's SetPoint; so we have connections to that too. I'm lost here.
I wasn't making accusations. Google the phrase and you'll see what I mean re Adobe piracy.
