The file pmb.exe is linked to an application called Pando Media Booster. This file is usually installed on computer without the user’s knowledge, or at least, their explicit consent. The file seems to install together with downloaded games on the Internet; usually the free-for-play games. The application helps in downloading online games faster and easier. The file also appears to use their clients’ machines for P2P sharing of their media files, updates, patches, and other files or applications. Even without playing the game that you have installed, or not being on the website where your game came from; the file pmb.exe will continue to run, for as long as there are other players downloading games. Your PC will be compelled to seed files to others connected to the P2P network. This could be the reason why downloading games with the file installed is faster, but this could also be the reason behind users’ slow CPU speed, and in some cases, increased bandwidth usage.
