Vista workaround

I forgot to mention this before. You'll need to be logged on as administrator on Vista for the "hosts" modification to work properly. Don't ever think simply blocking the apps in your firewall will be enough. If pimping the hosts file up seems like too much work, you might as well give up right now. It's absolutely imperative you do it, as your apps will phone home sooner or later, and when they do, they'll need to be stopped from talking to activation servers.
