Remove the virus named "Bonjour".

Question

Hello,
To all the holders of this virus named "Bonjour" in a folder named "Bonjour", containing two files (or three with a text file): mdnsNSP.dll, and mDNSResponder. These two files are viruses that crash your applications and sometimes reboot your PC. Even during an antivirus scan (with all software), these two files are not considered viruses and are even hidden as components of Apple software! (see photo below) http://sd-1.archive-host.com/membres/up/727692485/fichier.jpg.
In fact, there is no need to download all kinds of software that reduce your disk space and serve no purpose.
A very simple manipulation will allow you to remove them (because with the protection of Windows Vista, it is impossible to delete them):
Move the folder to the desktop.
Then, Start>Run>Msconfig
Once in msconfig, click on the "Services" tab, and disable the service: Bonjour service.
Windows will ask you to restart.
After the restart, it appears in Programs and Features: uninstall it.
After uninstallation, delete or move it to the recycle bin.
Restart.
THERE YOU GO!

Hoping this helps you.

Good evening,

"Bonjour" is not a virus, but a software that Apple pushes to iTunes users. It is used to connect computers to each other without any configuration. For example, it allows the use of a shared printer on a network. It was formerly known as "RendezVous"...

Thank you very much, I haven't tried it yet but I hope it's true.

Par contre, je ne trouve plus le fichier, bonjour (ce qui est sûr, c'est que je l'ai déjà vu il n'y a pas longtemps). Bref, tu pourrais me dire où tu l'as vu ?

I quote, the virus masquerades as an Apple service and makes your computer very vulnerable.
It doesn't act immediately, it builds up, believe me!
At first, I had issues with ComSurrogate which stopped working when I launched Windows Media Player.
Then it was Firefox, Internet Explorer, Windows Movie Maker, etc., and the reboots.
One piece of advice, Tib 45, search for the files (mdnsNSP.dll or mDNSresponder).
And it gets caught by downloading torrents ;).
There you go

And sorry for the wait (family)

I also have this program in my list of programs for a while, I was wondering what it corresponds to....

As I work in ADSL support, I have seen this same program (or file) in most of my clients; for some, it tries to connect to the internet.

In my research online, I came across Apple's program and this definition (HERE) of a virus.

I don't know what to think, apparently uninstalling this thing has caused many PCs to crash, which don't restart afterwards.

In my case, my PC has been giving hardware errors for 2 months, once every 5 to 6 restarts, and I wonder if it's due to this "Bonjour."

Mr-pataate, you say it gets caught while downloading torrents, does it just wander around the networks like that? Is it stealthily inserted into AVI files? Do you have more info regarding this virus?

For those who managed to remove it, what differences did you notice afterwards?

Faster, less memory used, a service or a process in -......?

I am very much interested in your responses...

Thank you in advance.

Hello  Bonjour service is a small software from Adobe-Apple, it is not harmful but can be removed if you do not own an iPod.  If you have an iPod and remove this Bonjour, it will no longer be recognized.  In no case is it a virus or harmful spyware. -- Help yourself, and heaven will help you! Google is your friend! There are only solutions, just need to find the problems that go with them...

Hello, I don't know if I read it wrong, but someone mentioned at the beginning that you had to do something in Start>Run>Blablabla and then it would finally appear. But I've never done that and it's in my programs. Is that normal? :p

Desinstall the part from all installed programs.

Jonathan · Answer

There you go. It's done. I did it for ten people too, I feel nice! :P

I can't move or delete it because I'm told it's open elsewhere, I've closed it in my processes, and I'm being told that again. Can someone tell me which programs are related to Bonjour, so I can finally close them and move this damn folder?
