Could this be the problem driver? (Apple's sneaky iTunes 8 install)

My Biggest Beef

With Bonjour is the fact that (aside from your excellent points in the article) it automatically opens port 5353 in your Windows firewall.

There have already been several vulnerabilities in Bonjour, namely DNS redirection and denial of service attacks. I really don't need anything opening holes in my firewall without my consent.

Sure, those of us that are "more informed" probably use something other than just the Windows firewall at home. And hopefully a good perimeter firewall/router...but many don't.

In addition, imagine the possibilities in a work environment. I know of lots of companies that don't use personal firewalls yet. The perimeter is Fort Knox but the internal is weak at best.
