How can I fix the "Please connect to the internet and retry"? It shows up even though I have an internet connection

Question

I have downloaded a trial version of Adobe Photoshop and installed it. But when I run the App, this always shows up.
Although I have an internet connection, the problem is still there when I retry or re-open the app.

Often malware  changer your system tcpip host file to redirect ip addrress.  Your "Host" file has no extension and normally is not redirecting much may look like MS default one which is all comments

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
# For example:
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1       localhost
# ::1             localhost
