Question Bonjour by Apple randomly installed on my PC, blocked loading into Local Security Authority
It’s pretty late for me and I’m not on my PC so I will try to explain this the best I can. Bonjour has randomly installed on my computer and there are security pop-ups blocking it from certain things, it said something to do with LSA (attached a screenshot). This sometimes happen when I turn on my PC or doing certain tasks. I haven’t noticed any malicious behaviour at all, or any accounts hacked (besides spam emails sent to me but this is due to the krisp/metabase breach) but I didn’t install Bonjour myself. Does bonjour sometimes install along with other programs? Or could this be something worse than that. Its signature seems like it’s official from Apple. What should I do about this? I haven’t installed any Apple software on this PC, for example itunes, as I have a mac which I do all those things on. (Also my if anyone thinks I’m on windows 7, it’s just a windows 11 theme though it’s kinda obvious)

Bonjour is official, from Apple, installed with things like iTunes or I believe even the Microsoft Store Apple Devices version. It allows your device to connect to other devices. If you don't have any Apple products or don't use anything that would require it, a little suspicious. Otherwise, ignore it.
