Deleting Bonjour

I was installing Bonjour, it stopped under the 1/2 blue bar in Installsheild. (Installshield said that Bonjour was starting its services.) Now how do I delete it off my computer? It won't appear under Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

Can someone reply to my message? I'm worried Bonjour will screw up my computer.

What makes you think that Bonjour is installed? Do you have a "Bonjour" folder in "C:\Program Files"?

I've searched my computer, and I find various bonjour files. I have part of it installed, but it is so screwed up, and some files are missing. I noticed that my downloads were going a bit slower, though with it on my computer. Also, I read a little bit of the Terms and Conditions contract and it said that it uses third-party software.

Bonjour does not use any third party software. I would recommend that you try installing Bonjour again and then try removing it. Bonjour has no affect on your download speed. Do you see something called mDNSResponder in your Task Manager?

Yes, I do see that process.

You can disable mDNSResponder by going to Control Panels -> Administrative Tools -> Services, and then right-click on the Bonjour Service and select "Properties" and then change the "Startup type" to "Disabled". Then make sure the Bonjour Service is stopped and delete the Bonjour folder that's inside your "Program Files" folder. Then Bonjour will be uninstalled.
