| 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 share any information. Greatly increases speed to game downloads over services such as fileplanet which distributes the same games at much slower speeds. Appears to use bittorrent like technology. | |||

| Cited from Pando's website: Will you use my computer to transfer other people’s stuff? Absolutely not. Pando Media Booster will only transfer pieces of media files you previously streamed or downloaded and will do so sparingly to ensure minimal use of your PC resources. This IS malware. A trojan using your (my) internet resources to share data you have downloaded with others but without your knowledge. I do usually know what Im doing on my computer but I didnt catch when this bugger did install. Mind you that might be all that it does, but its far enough for me to get rid of that soft.

| You get it after downloading (large) gamefiles. It helps speed up that ONE download but you have it forever. Pando describes it as a UserInterface-less, transparent, background program. If that doesn't sound self-serving than I don't know what is. UNINSTALL after getting your download. | |||

| Trojan, malware. Get rid of it. Takes up lots of bandwidth which causes lag in online activities (games, VOIP, and downloads overall). Some people claim it will 'increase your downlaod speed'. This is false. Nothing will increase your bandwidth other than upgrading your internet. | |||

| MALWARE!!! PLAIN & SIMPLE... IF YOU HAVE IT, GET RID OF IT. Adds products to the system registry, communicates with other computer systems using HTTP protocols Creates a TCP port which listens and is available for communication initiated by other computers This process creates other processes on the disk, executes a process that sends MIME Email,registers a Dynamic Link Library File. Eats up tons of CPU resources thus causing system crashes and browser freeze. | |||
