Lets start a Vote. To get this the hell out of here. Made for us ya right. This program uses Pando Media booster.
(EDIT: Let's not. Petition/voting posts are considered spamming. You may leave an opinion, not a vote. ~Bluegeek)
What is Pando Media Booster?
PMB.exe is a small application that is installed along with some free-to-use software such as League of Legends, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Lord of the Rings Online, NBC, etc? PMB.exe basically helps the company off-load the responsibly of sharing their media files, patches or installations directly by turning their user?s machines into Peer 2 Peer clients. (Rather than having pushing you a 600MB update file, which actually costs the company money, the users might receive parts of the file from hundreds of other players.)
lets look at the problems across the web.
1. An unsuspecting user that leaves Pando.exe running on their system is pretty much being forced to seed files to thousands of users ALL THE TIME (pando.exe has been reported by users to use up to 80+% of their internet connection?s upload bandwidth.) For some users this could lead to their ISP throttling their connection and/or actually charging them extra $$$ for using more bandwidth than they knew they were using."
2. Pando Media Booster (PMB.exe) listens on TCP ports 443 and 563. People having trouble getting web servers such as Apache, IIS, or others working should consider removing Pando Media Booster. Pando Media Booster runs at startup and takes priority to other downloads. Slowness in downloading or general network performance issues may be related to this product.
3. Everyone that has used PMB says to delete it if it does not give the option to not use it with your game.
Now lets talk about Arc. They say it was created for us.
According to the trademark filed by PWE Arcs

So this is a online retail store.
The class issued by the goverment is that its.

So again how is this made for us??
