software: What is bonjour?

Question

I have a software application/process on my PC called Bonjour that is being automatically allowed out through my firewall, but I don't know what it is.

Any ideas?

I think that it may be part if iTunes but I'm not certain. Do I want to disable it's firewall pass though or not?

Answer 1

Bonjour Client is a Mac application that allows Windows and Mac software to talk on a network.

If you have iTunes, you need to let Bonjour through the firewall, otherwise iTunes won't be able to access the internet.

Answer 3

Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers.

Answer 4

Its a part of Itunes. I'm not even sure what it does. I think they use it to snoop on what songs you have on your computer. I believe you can disable it in "add/remove" programs from the control panel.

Answer 5

It was installed when you added iTunes to your computer. It allows computers on your local network to share, among other things, your iTunes library. Its a good thing.
