I have a very simple question. How can I configure my firewall to block Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 updates on Windows 7?

You will need to create a Windows Firewall rule. Go to Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Windows Firewall. Click Advanced settings on the right-hand side, click Outbound rules on the left-hand side, then click New Rule on the right.

enter image description here

On the next window, make sure you have Program selected and click Next. Select the button for This program path: and click Browse. From here, you'll need to navigate to the .EXE file for Illustrator. It'll be under C:\Program Files (x86) (w/o the x86 if you're not running 64-bit Windows) and possibly within the Adobe sub-folder.

Once you've found the .EXE file, click Next, Block the connection, apply it to Domain/Private/Public networks, give it a name, and click Finish.

  • Thanks. I've blocked the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Adobe Ilustrator CC 2014.exe which is a Windows link to %ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe. This should do it. Thanks.
