AdobeGenP v3.6.4 didn't stop pop-ups

Firstly, glad to see GenP has found a new home.

Now, I've seen posts saying that v3.6.4 helped remove daily pop-ups but I'm still stuck using fiddler to find and report domains daily (yes even if I update the host files from https://a.dove.isdumb.one/list.txt before opening any adobeapp.exe).

I find it strange that every domain I upload is not already on the list (it's been at least 13 days in a row by now) even though I can see in the closed issues history that other users have reported domains within a few hours of me.

I had working scheduled task before but it became useless after these daily changes that seem unique to me.

GenP also tells me I'm missing a config file (even though patching worked 100%). Could this be a contributing factor or something I need to fix?

Any thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated.

  • Ensure that you are using GenP v3.6.4 within its own folder, without mixing it with other versions or configuration files from previous releases.

    Additionally, you haven’t specified which app is generating popups, so first ensure that you have unpacked either After Effects or Premiere Pro before applying patches as usual.

    For properly patched apps using GenP v3.6.4, anti-popup patches should be in effect, meaning you should not encounter any non-AGS-related popups.

    However, you will still receive AGS-related popups, such as the Adobe Genuine Service notification, which can be addressed using alternative methods listed in the Troubleshoot Section.

    If you have correctly patched all apps with GenP v3.6.4, including the necessary unpacking step for After Effects and Premiere Pro, but continue to see non-AGS popups, then WinTrust should be used for the specific affected app.

    If non-AGS popups persist, revert to previous methods, utilise the latest entries in the hosts file, identify additional domains to block, and report them accordingly. Alternatively, you can block the app in your firewall as needed.

    Additionally, Adobe frequently changes its domains, meaning some apps require daily domain adjustments. Domains posted one day may no longer be valid the next, as Adobe will have switched to a different one. You will need to find and update the domains accordingly on a daily basis.

    Furthermore, ensure that you are using a compatible app. Lightroom is usable, but as it is a cloud-based application designed for multi-device access and cloud storage integration, it is not supported by GenP, and we do not provide any help or support for it.

    While Lightroom can function offline, certain features, such as cloud syncing and Adobe's AI-powered search, require an internet connection. Lightroom Classic, on the other hand, is designed for desktop use and can be fully patched properly.

    All of this information is detailed in the GenP Guides, so be sure to read them thoroughly.
