Adobe's services and the IP addresses they use can change over time. Keeping the block list up to date requires ongoing effort.
To maintain an effective block, users must make the hosts file Read-Only or take ownership of the file and deny write permissions to the SYSTEM account. This creates a cat-and-mouse game between the user's permission settings and the Adobe updater's integrity checks. adobe hosts file block list exclusive
