Connections to activate.adobe.com shown in process hacker

I opened up the connections tab in Process Hacker and saw this...

So my questions is this, What gives?

When you made activate.adobe.com point to localhost in your hosts file so that you could steal whatever Adobe products you use it made process hacker show that as your address. In other words those are just programs connecting to the localhost and because you named localhost "activate.adobe.com" it is showing that as your local address.

It looks like you have activate.adobe.com set to 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 in your hosts file. You or someone else may have done this to prevent adobe software from trying to activate. This program is then doing a reverse lookup for 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 and finding it in your hosts file.
