Remove Bonjour

bonjour.jpg

If you’re running Adobe CS3 Suite, you might already have the Bonjour service installed on your system automatically and it run as a system service:“##Id_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##”
(you can found it in windows services management)

WTF was that? First of all, I thought it was some nasty spyware came along with CS3 install file, after I’ve goggling for a while, I’ve been told it’s no risk at all, here is an official note from Adobe. It might not messing up with your system in anyway, but I don’t want it doing its little homework in my backyard and try to send any information throughout my weak firewall. Good news is that there is a certainly way to remove it from your system service and registry manually, say goodbye to Bonjour from now on:

1. Open a Windows command prompt and type the following command:
“C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe -remove”
2. Navigate to the following folder in Windows Explorer: C:\Program Files\Bonjour
3. Rename the mdnsNSP.dll file in that folder to mdnsNSP.old
4. Restart your computer
5. Delete the the Program Files\Bonjour folder
