but here it is since its game related, I have known about this for a while. not sure if there is a security risk attached or not, my bias is more based on the way it works for me. which is Pando Media Booster Takes all of my bandwidth, if i open a web browser or a game while downloading a game using pando it actually kills my computers connectivity, and i have to restart. run>cmd ipconfig /release (+renew) will not bring it back.
But pando is a peer to peer client, like a bit torrent more or less. heres the article.

Im not using it anymore on the principle that its my machine and i can download any number of ways, and still (albeit at a reduced rate) surf the web or play a game, however with pando i cannot.
