worst piece of software since aol.

yep that is a virus alright. you should get comodo anti-virus so you can run things in an isolated virtual environment so you can find out if it's trustworthy or not

Should sort you out. Bonjour is known to corrupt it with it's own version. It is the very definition of Malware.
