You should find this program and remove it from your computer, it's randomly installed with several popular games, that leeches your bandwidth to help others download the game in question. I found it on my laptop a couple of months ago and removed it, it made me able to finally watch and stream HD Youtube videos really fast, instead of having to wait for ages. It's a little devil program, I just got a new PC together 3 days ago and before I knew it, this PC had it too.
I think it's a dirty thing to install this program on your PC without permission, especially when it drains so much, so I thought I would let you know.
Like what games is it bundled with?

APB
It's a P2P client companies use to distribute game updates amongst peers.
LoL has it too, it's fucking annoying.
So it's forced P2P so the owners don't need to pay for bandwidth as much?

Yeah basically.
The way a lot of games use it is, it forceinstalls it, you use it to download the initial base of the game, after that you can uninstall it and get patchs regularly without having to use PMB.
I remember once modifying some AV definition file to include Pando as a virus.

I don't remember [b]how[/b] I did it, I just remember doing it :v:
It also comes with LotR online, and DnD online. Just a warning for those of you who play those.
World of tanks has this
Which ABP. The new or old one?
Mabinogi (And probably other Nexon games as well) have this

Both.
League of legends has it, world of tanks does too.
Thanks for the info; I uninstalled it yesterday. I hesitated to in the past because I didn't know if it was a core part of any of my applications or not.
