CloseHello i need help i accidentally blocked Pando Media Booster i need help Un-blocking it i un-installed it and re-installed it but it keeps popping up it's having a error. can someone help me? much would be appreciated.
I have no idea why you would want to unblock something that downloads and uploads unknown data to unknown peers completely without your prior (educated) approval. I have no idea why you would even want it in the first place.
If you really do want to unblock it though, you could start by informing us what is blocking PMB. Windows Firewall? ZoneAlarm? Comodo? What are we dealing with here?
Also elaborate on this "error" you speak of (copypasta the error message here) so we can assist you if that error proves to be related to the issue you're having.

PMB isn't as bad as everyone thinks. Well, It's bad, but it doesn't do any harmful downloading. The program is basically one big P2P network, the files you download over it, are downloaded from other systems/servers hosting that file. The catch is, as long as it's installed on your computer, your computer is also a host for the files you are downloading/downloaded.
The idea is good: it's using the downloadspeed you currently aren't using, so normally you shouldn't have any problems with it. And for downloading, that's kinda true, but sadly the whole system is kinda... well, shit :D
It takes time for PMB to adjust to the current dl/up speed you are asking from your computer, meaning, if you are playing an online game, it will occasionally(okay, quite often)download more then it should: giving you major lags spikes.
Ugh, why was I explaining this?
Anyways, because of that, most programs see PMB as a piece of spyware, blocks them automatically. As KingArthur said, find that program, and add PMB to it's save list(or disable the program if you're clueless how to add something to it's savelist. Just make sure to reenable the program after you're done downloading whatever you're downloading with PMB).

author=noicreCThe idea is similar to BitTorrent and other P2P networks, but the critical problems here are that PMB:

1. Usually installs silently and automatically along with the software it was bundled with, without clearly asking for the user's permission.
2. Does not clearly specify what data is being transmitted and to where.
3. Does not have an "off" switch, running silently in the background without informing the user.
4. Does not allow bandwidth throttling, potentially causing problems with other software that utilize network connections.
5. (3) and (4) both are especially troublesome for people on connections with bandwidth caps.
If the OP wants to unblock PMB given the above, that's fine, but for his computer's and privacy's sake I really wouldn't suggest it.
well..umm idk what the problem is but i made a youtube video of my problem can you see if you know what's wrong if you watch it? :( heres the link

The video doesn't really help us address your problem. The error message is coming from PMB itself, stating that it was unable to connect to PMB's servers because something is blocking PMB.exe from making outbound connections. Chrome could make a connection with their servers because it's not blocked like PMB.exe is.
The question now is, what firewall and/or security software are you using? Though configuration options vary by software, the gist of the matter is that you need to unblock PMB.exe from whatever firewall and/or security software you're currently using.

who is OP?author=Link_2112
I find it odd that the OP would sign up to RMN just to ask this question.
