Apple Inc. Bonjour.....Goodbye!

Can I delete this?

I no longer have iTunes, or QuickTime. Thought I got rid of it all, but this is still lurking on board.

If I no longer have iTunes, I shouldn't need this for networking. At least that is what I am understanding it is for. Couldn't get much from the literature I found.


It's not some left-over Apple product that Windows needs for some stupid reason, or is it strictly for iTunes and Apple devices? Can I uninstall.

Bonjour allows no-hassle configuration and automatic discovery of devices on a network. This means devices see each other without having to enter IP addresses etc. Apart from Apple, Adobe software like CS3, Skype and Gizmo can also install a Bonjour folder.

Yeah, rid it from your system.

Good, gone! Just wanted to make sure.

Thought I got it all before.

Thanks.:)

Thanks, I will maybe do a restore point, just to be safe. I have good, stable network so I don't want to screw anything up right now.

It sounds like uPnP to me.

Seems kind of redundant.
