Typical problem which pisses me off. It seems EVERY software creator believes himself to be a god and their stupid qu qu wokoo they wrote to be the king and the owner on the PC, ...not a guest, from which good behavior is expected. It takes narcistic personality and mind of an idiot, to lag user's computers with background tasks, in times when PC rss might be needed for other things. If you that type of the personality programmer, please, please, stop writing programs. Go sell hot dogs, become painter, but whatever you do, please stay away from computers.

Open host file located in c:windows\system32\etc\driver\
copy new text line into the file content
127.0.0.1 update.viber.com
Save the file. Restart your windows PC. Done!
