| Usefulness Rating: | |||
| The PMB.exe process is Pando Media Booster, which is a downloader utility used by games online to download updates directly, rather than from the game company's server. It also enables your computer to get high downloading speed or streaming speed of very large files such as high-quality HDTV video, or giant games. Although the process has CPU issues sometimes, it is safe to users without malicious files. It can be removed through ‘add/remove programs’ in the Control Panel. | |||
| Recommendation: | |||
| PMB.exe is a downloader utility to speed up downloads. It causes no damage to PC performance. But spyware or virus would disguise themselves as it. Thus, make sure always check the location of the file and run anti-virus/malware software to scan and remove problems if there is any. | |||

| Doesn't seem to serve a purpose. Ate about 50% of my upload capacity and with µtorrent using the other half, I got a red latency playing WoW. Closed it down and everything back to normal. Remove this one ASAP. | |||

| Got this garbage from LoL. I luckily caught it the next time i logged on, and closed out. Alas, it popped up again the next time i logged out / in. Malware Bytes also blocked an outgoing link from this. Remove immediately. | |||

| I live in Canada. We have very low data caps for very expensive monthly prices. Pando Media Booster, which I had for a number of games, costed me about $60 in bandwidth charges over two months. I know this because my upload was almost on par with my download, despite me doing nothing that would involve uploading outside of light gaming, which doesn't drain 20 gigs a month. I had thought I was just downloading a ton before I checked my monthly upload usage. I open up my Resource Monitor to get to the bottom of things, and I see 20 instances of PMB.exe using about 400kb/s collectively. This piece of "software" costed me more than any virus ever has. | |||

| If you don't want it to start every single time you start your computer, just open Control Panel and click on "Pando Media Booster" there. Then uncheck "Start Media Booster when I start Windows". | |||
