Hello,

on my PC in msconfig / command / startup
I have the Bonjour service marked as Unknown and enabled

I would like to know what it is for? Should I remove it, disable it, or something else?
THANK YOU

Hello,

Here it is: https://support.apple.com/en-us
Often installed without permission by software like Apple's iTunes but also by software published by others (for example: Adobe). Photoshop CS3 and CS4 install the Bonjour service.

As for disabling it: there's no need to bring out the big guns (I've even read instructions suggesting using ComboFix to remove it!). Just talk to it nicely and it will be quiet afterwards:
"C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe" -remove

==> this will disable the service and the initial loading. It can be reactivated at any time with
"C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe" -install

There you go...
