What exactly is mDNSResponder.exe? (Bonjour)

https://www.groovypost.com/howto/howto/what-is-mdnsresponder-exe-and-why-is-it-running/

MDNSResponder, also known as Bonjour, is Apple’s native zero-configuration networking process for Mac that was ported over to Windows and associated with MDNSNSP.DLL. On a Mac or iOS device, this program is used for networking nearly everything. On Windows, this process is only necessary for sharing libraries via iTunes and other Mac applications like the Apple TV that were ported to Windows. Bonjour allows different computers running iTunes to communicate with each other regardless of network configuration, this is because it enables automatic network discovery.

Are you using the Avast Secure VPN? If you're not using it then I'd suggest you uninstall it as well

Notice all of the following. This is not normal. There should really only be one entry for each Visual C++ runtime but you have dozens and they're hidden and have the word FALSE in them which is strange too.
If it were my computer and I wasn't going to do a clean install of Windows, I'd uninstall all of these and then get the official installer from Microsoft and reinstall as needed. These hidden entries won't show up in your Control Panel, Add/Remove but I can help with that.

Your DNS Servers: 192.168.100.1

Please consider changing your default DNS Server settings. Please choose one provider only

DNS is what lets users connect to websites using domain names instead of IP addresses

• Google Public DNS: IPv4 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 IPv6 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844

You're running Torrent software on the system.

Torrenting is the act of downloading and uploading files through the BitTorrent network

The act of torrenting itself is not illegal. However, downloading and sharing unsanctioned copyrighted material is illegal, and there is always a chance of prosecution if caught by the authorities.
Torrenting non-copyrighted material is perfectly fine and is allowed. However, be aware that we have seen increased malware bundled with software downloads over P2P.

Recent Ransomware infections have been seen to encrypt user data so that no one can decrypt the data without the private key.
When sharing files, please keep in mind that you're increasing your system's attack surface area, which can increase the risk of infection.

Scan all files before running them. https://www.virustotal.com

If you don't need or use the P2P software, you should uninstall it to improve security of your system and data.

Please double-check and verify this is the correct link for your motherboard. You may want to consider updating your BIOS but check with Asus support and the forums as updating the BIOS can be potentially dangerous.

It is possible to brick the computer from an update but I've not personally seen it in well over a decade. There are a lot of BIOS updates listed that may potentially improve performance of your system and fix some security issues.

WARNING: Please double-check with Asus support. I don't want you coming back here blaming us for any issues with BIOS updates. The choice to update is yours. I'm simply alerting you that there are updates IF you want to do them or not.
If the computer is working well for you then you may opt not to install the updates.
