Bonjour Files?

[Guest John Adams]

I just realized, because my firewall gave me some warnings, that an

application called "Bonjour" by "Apple Computer" is installed on both of my

Vista machines. Is this a Windows system component? If not, how did it get

on my systems?

Hi John,

 

Are there any Macs on your network? Bonjour is not part of Windows.

No, there are no Macs. I just realized that this came with Adobe

Dreamweaver.

 

Thanks for replying, though.

There don't need to be Macs. Just Apple software.

It is installed by Safari 3, iTunes (network discovery of iPod?)

 

And of course Intel-Macs run Windows. So just another PC.

yes, iTunes looks for wireless "remote speakers", and it contains a

(stripped) copy of the bonjour service (which is available on the apple

website as a separate download)
