Hello everyone you all are internet lovers..don't you? I am also an internet lover and IDM is a very familiar name to all of us. IDM means Internet Download Manager.It can increase your download speed up-to 500%.You can also download torrent files with IDM too.

If you don't have IDM  you can download it from here

Now lets come to the point..many of you guys are using IDM to download files at lighting fast speed.But many of you are getting an error like the picture below.Its because IDM has fixed the serial key check in its latest version and that's why when we register with a fake serial number or patch it checks immediately if the key is valid or not.

3.Rename the file “IDMGrHlp.exe” to any name of your choice or you can simply delete it.(I would suggest you to delete it)

Note – If you delete the file then there would be a new pop up each time you open IDM stating “IDM cannot find 1 files that are necessary for browser and system integration. Please reinstall IDM“.

§    4.Now Search for the file “idmBroker.exe”

5.Make a duplicate copy of this file and Rename the duplicate file to “IDMGrHlp.exe”
