Is part of the "Apple Bonjour-Service". It's installed together with I-Tunes. Annoying but harmless - imo not needed.

THREATrating from user Eleventeen for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Bonjour\mdnsresponder.exe (Variant: 2521718)
This service broke my internet, and has no easy way to fix aside from a system restore, which may or may not work. Extremely dangerous software that apple bundles in with basically everything you can install from them on windows (Itunes, quicktime, etc). Really horrible they include such invasive software that can cripple windows machines. I would never install any of their software, except I had to because my mom wanted her iphone unlocked, and unlike androids, stupid iphones require you to connect them to your computer and run itunes to do that.
SAFErating from user C_Denninger for file %PROGRAMFILES%\Bonjour\mdnsresponder.exe (Variant: 2025686)
Save but absolutely useless tool if you don't have a iPod. This tool is forcibly installed bij iTunes. Note: Don't uninstall this program otherwise iTunes will not run or update itself! But... You can stop the following services if you don't have a iPod and iTues will still run fine! Start "Services.msc" and make sure the property's of the folowing services are set to: Disabeled. * "Bonjour service" or "Bonjour-service". * "Apple Mobile Device", the Dutch version is called: "Mobiel Apple apparaat". * "iPod Service" or "iPod-Service".
