When entries are added to the hosts file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts


127.0.0.1 www.4kdownload.com
127.0.0.1 sa.openmedia.co

then the program continues to check for updates.


On the website https://check-host.net I pasted the link http://sa.openmedia.co and checked the IP address for this website, the IP for this website is 34.213.215.111


I blocked this IP address 34.213.215.111 in Firewall as shown at https://www.thesagenext.com/support/block-ip-in-windows-firewall and it didn't help.





When I blocked the ByClick Downloader program https://www.byclickdownloader.com, I checked the IP address 93.190.143.45 from the query link http://logic.byclickdownloader.com/configV2.php?Core=10403297&Machine=178BFBFF00800F11722A82AC|000C297CA45D&version=2.4.1&updatec=true&source=MAIN on the website https://check-host.net I added the ByClick Downloader program and the IP address 93.190.143.45 as described on the website https://www.thesagenext.com/support/block-ip-in-windows-firewall and it worked, but the 4k Video Downloader program cannot be used this way to block.

Solution - Use a different application, that does not do all that.
