PLEASE HELP!! :help: Clicky (http://www.winamp.com) (If you must use it, make sure you're an administrator on your computer) @Speedy: Of course he is, iTunes needs XP/2000 and fails to start installing in 9x systems Anywho, didn't like the way that iTunes insisted on giving me links to the itunes store, and the way it thought I wanted Podcasts. It didn't give me the option of disabling the ipodservice either, so didn't like that much either. For once WMP is more intuative than Apple :rolleyes: |

| 388772 | 2005-09-18 21:49:00 | I know Itunes needs 2k or XP, thats why I asked. Altho, I dont use it. I would rather use Winamp and the Ipod plugin. |

| 388773 | 2007-10-19 18:01:00 | The point about downloading a trojan and getting it over with makes sense to an extent, because there are a few things that this program does subversively, and I will list them for you in case you don't use PCs: I installed a program which I never intended for internet use, and all of a sudden after install I got a firewall alert: "DNSresponse.exe" (or whatever) trying to access the internet. Hmmm. Makes me suspicious, so I blocked it. Anything after that just uses resources, and I'm a resource nazi when it comes to crap I don't need/want. Then I noticed that it was running in task manager, so I ran msconfig, but couldn't find it. Also makes me suspicious. Still, at this point I wasn't too worried cause it didn't use too much resources, even if I don't need the thing. But as I was going through my background services, I came across a very suspicious, anonymous service, which prompted me to search further, and ultimately led me back to bonjour. This service is suspiciously called ##Id_String1.6844F930_1628_4223_B5cc_5bb94bb79762# # . I ended up getting startupCPL and couldn't find anything pertaining it or DNSresponder. I tried ProcessExplorer, and that didn't reveal anything. After I went into my control panel, went to admin. tools/services, I found out that it belonged to bonjour. At this point I'm asking "why would a reputable program seem like a shady program?" But, whatever, I just want it off my computer anyway, cause I don't need it. So, because bonjour didn't show up in add/remove programs, I had to get Unlocker so I could just delete the file manually. Nice thing. Something I didn't need/want, I discovered was attached to my firefox, windows explorer, and a couple other things, and even after "unlocking" the processes, I still got the same error when trying to delete it. All I could do was rename it and reboot to actually remove it. So at this point I've got it stopped from running and off my computer. Can't say I was ever overly concerned about it, but I am extremely annoyed that it got on my computer without me knowing, and also that it came with a program I wasn't intending to use for it's online features/updates anyway, and also that the way it was running wasn't just attached to the installed program in question, but a few others which shouldn't have had anything to do with it. As a final point, any legitimate software should have a better name and description for it other than ##Id_String1.6844F930_1628_4223_B5cc_5bb94bb79762# #. Regards, Brian |

| 388775 | 2007-10-19 18:49:00 | Other companies are also installing Bonjour with their software. It installs with some Adobe products and also Kodak Easyshare software are two I know of. It can be disabled/enabled in your services list. | Bantu (52) | ||
