Do I need Bonjour? Some one calling to tell me it is Russian Spyware.

I have received many error from Bonjour. I am wondering if I need the program, as it appears it was not correctly installed. Second, a man named Sean at 877-764-5405 called me reporting that their main frame was receiving records of my errors. He had me check the computer, and there was Bonjour. He said that Bonjour was spyware from Russia that was attacking computer. I told hmi I needed him to call back, but I asked him, "How much is your service?" He told me check out the website at teqslytom.com.

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Bonjour is an open source auto-discovery networking service that Apple uses in its products. It is by no means spyware.


Sean, on the other hand, told you utter nonsense and was attempting to commit a crime. You didn't let him. All is good.


If you are concerned about the errors, please post a representative sample. Describe how and when you encountered them. They may be routine or not.


If you post system log excerpts, delete or obscure any personal data before posting.

I can find no website by that name; no surprise.
