Can anyone tell me what Apple Bonjour is? Can I just delete it to eliminate the threat? |

Bonjour is a network discovery mechanism used by Apple. A client computer sends Bonjour discovery broadcast and Bonjour capable network nodes reply with Bonjour properties. Bonjour can be used to discover NAS devices in order to connect to the NAS Web UI. Some networked printers also support Bonjour for printer configuration. | ||||||||
