Uninstalling Bonjour service from Photoshop CS3?

Majapahit Grand has pointed out the obvious error in this Adobe ' TechNote'
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=kb400982

In the second instance it says to type...

"C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe -remove"

Wrong! It should be

"C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe" -remove

Then follow the rest of the instructions.

Yes ;)

So, thats what you'd call easy and obvious?

It is not easy to remove or disable - that is part of the problem here. Also, it's a silent install with no obvious un-install option.

I don't know whether to feel flattered or insulted!

I just don't know why people are so paranoiac.

Especially when it's so easy to remove or disable the thing.

I don't know why more of you aren't really upset about this. Adobe crammed software down our throats without our knowledge or permission. We paid big bucks for CS3 and we ended up with a spyware connection to Adobe. I kept getting nagware popups in my browser to update my pdf plugin and I couldn't figure out how to stop the Adobe reader from connecting to Adobe to tattle on me that I was using an older pdf reader version. I finally updated and ended up with all kinds of crapware that I had to uninstall! Who knows what spyware is included with Adobe Reader 8. Privacy is important and we are losing it.

John Joslin you are obviously an Adobe employee. If you're a nice person you'll get a good job. (Does your mother know you are doing this?)

Adobe has loaded its apps up with a lot of peripheral functions that rely on tying users to their so called 'services' 'meetings' etc. Fine, if you want those features, but not fine when they lock your install into all that excess code that clogs up productive environments without the opportunity to choose what you want at the install stage. Thankfully, there is a way around their install procedure to choose what you want and a way to totally eliminate Bonjour. I run CS3 totally bare bones with PS and Bridge.

I run lean, fast, workflow specific machines and I don't want any internet related crap on them, especially things like Bonjour that dance to an Adobe drummer, not me. I have one machine where all apps extraneous to the production environment clog each other's arteries, including MS Office, etc,etc,etc.

It is the move to relinquishing install control that pisses me off most about Adobe's recent software (really bloatware if you have to load up a machine with code that you do not require). It is a more sophisticated form of spamming in my opinion.

Or I just don't like garbage on my computer. I have an iPod and I don't run iTunes either.

You must have something to hide then. B)
