PMB.exe

| 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. |

| "Appears to use bittorrent like technology." Why the hell didn't the LotRO setup warn me that it'll install such a thing? Hell, it bugged me all evening that my internet connection was so slow. I couldn't play any online games at all until i noticed the new process in taskmgr. At least it's easy to get rid of. | |||

| I've also downloaded DDO, and then i didn't know why my net was 0.3 megabit ( i could check it when it finally loaded speedtest after 4-5 mins ) instead of 5 megabit. Ofcourse this was the cause. UNINSTALL IT. FAST | |||

| installs without warning, and dramatically cuts your DL speed. went from 450 kb/s to 50 kb/s on a download thanks to this lovely piece of mailware. basically rubbish. | |||

| They (their website) brag about it being UI-less and hidden. Ya, cause that's exactly something I want on my machine. Something that runs on startup, uses bandwidth and skyrockets my latency without reporting to me what it's doing. Thanks for making my online gaming unplayable the last week. Retards. | |||

| It stopped Malwarebytes from updating! After I uninstalled it Malwarebytes downloaded updates no problem. PMB.exe is supposed to increase download speeds through "Cloud Computing". BS! As another poster said you'd have to upgrade your bandwidth with your ISP!!! | |||

| i was using limewire to download stuff, and then my internet just stopped working. this unfamilar process PMB.exe was running and eating RAM. i have kaspersky and it hasnt detected anything so i doubt it is malicious, just a useless program that might arise while downloading stuff. End process, scan ur computer and you should be fine. | |||

| I downloaded AsdaStory and got this one with it, it does nothing now but does idle on the background. Annoying, going to uninstall it. | |||

| Just downloaded the Lord of the ring installer and it came with that. After the installation, my computer kept reading hard disk, it never happened before, so I brought up the task manager and there it is, the PMB.exe was consuming my CPU and memory. I decided to delete the process, and then everything goes fine as usual. BTW I hate those software install automatically without acknowledging me. | |||

| This is junk. It's a poorly implemented torrent like protocol which will use you computer as much as possible to service the company behind the software. Get rid of it as soon as your Lotro download is finished. Thanks to "Pando Media Booster" for screwing our connections. | |||
