IDM (Internet Download Manager) is the best download manager in the market. But every one need every thing free and then he/she faces piracy problems.
But Don't Worry ! !
Even though its not so easy to stop the automatic updates of idm but lets give a try
Here is trick to disable automatic update of IDM
Solution 1
Its a much more effective way of stopping the update checks, you will need to open up regedit (there is no need to run as administrator) and go to the following key:
1 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DownloadManager
and then change the “LastCheck” and/or “LastTry” value to something like e.g.:
1 [10/22/15]
Then restart your computer !!
Solution 2
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
then it won't be able to access it's update server
