Rename IDM Files to Disable IDM Updates

The second method to turn off or block IDM auto-updates is by renaming the IDM
files. This method is hard to apply.😜

1. Make sure you have closed IDM on your laptop. ( From Taskbar and
   system tray)
2. After that open the IDM installation folder. Usually located in the
   C:> Program Files> Internet Download Manager folder.
3. Then find and rename the IDMGrHlp.exe file to idmhelp-old.exe.
4. After that restart our laptop.
5. Then re-open the Internet Download Manager installation folder.
6. Then
   find and select the file named idmBroker.exe then rename it to
   IDMGrHlp.exe.
7. Then restart our laptop again.
8. That’s the way IDM will change to the full version and fake serial number
   messages will no longer appear.
