Removing Bonjour might affect the way some of your software runs (iTunes, Safari, Skype, Adobe Premiere, etc). It won't do any harm to leave it, as it is NOT spyware.

Start > Run > type “%ProgramFiles%\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe” -remove and click OK. This removes the Bonjour service. To confirm it has been stopped and deleted, go to Start > Run > services.msc

Open Windows Explorer and go to the Program Files\Bonjour folder. There should be 3 files in there. Rename mdnsNSP.dll as mdnsNSP.old

Reboot, then delete the Bonjour folder in Windows Explorer. Go back to services.msc to make sure Bonjour is gone.

i tried “%ProgramFiles%\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe” -remove

Open Windows Explorer and find mDNSResponder.exe in the Bonjour folder. Right-click the file and select Create Shortcut.

Right-click the shortcut and select Properties. Add -remove to the end of the Target line and click OK.

Left-click the shortcut to run it. This is the same as the Start > Run command.

Just noticed your quotemarks are not of a correct type. Note how they are formed. Windows won't translate those correctly. It looks as though this has been created in a text editor other than notepad, such as an RTF format like Word, or Works. Also, if you're getting C:\Program not found, that indicates you're missing the initial quote mark, or the quotemark is not recognized as a correct character.

Yours:

“%ProgramFiles%\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe” -remove

Correct:

"%ProgramFiles%\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe" -remove
