Wow is that Bonzi thing annoying or what? I dont think you downloaded anything. I have had that too. Is there a Bonzi buddy short cut on your desktop? Just delete it. If you check the properties of it, it points to a web link. If you acutally installed something then go to you Control Panel then "Add Remove Programs"

Bonzi is only good for one thing, and that is making it swear at your uncle. Otherwise, it's just a cool looking gimick to make some money. It constantly asks to buy things.... so yeah... If it did install, it would install a voice module, I think it's something like "Lernout & Hampshire" (I got terrible memory). If that's not used by something else, remove that too.

Hi,
on the site http://www.pchell.com/support/bonzibuddy.shtml I found the following text:

What is Bonzi Buddy?

He's your interactive friend and traveling companion on the Internet! He walks, talks, sings, browses and searches the Internet with you. That's according to the website...he's also very annoying.

How to I Remove Bonzi Buddy?

BonziBUDDY is easily removed following these instructions:

1) First you need to close the Bonzi Buddy Program. Click on Bonzi and say "Goodbye" to close him. Next, Right-click on the dollar sign icon next to your clock and choose "Exit."

2) Now click on Start > Programs > BonziBUDDY > Uninstall BonziBUDDY Bargain Hunting Tool and allow the uninstall program to finish.

3) Go to Start > Programs > BonziBUDDY > Uninstall BonziBUDDY and allow the uninstall program to complete.

4) Finally, restart your computer.

Sometimes the uninstall is not successful because a manual removal was tried previously, or a key file was deleted that the uninstall process needs. In these cases, reinstall the Bonzi Buddy software and then proceed with a normal uninstall shown above.

There is no need to delete any files first. All you need to do is visit

http://www.bonzi.com/freebuddy/bonzibuddyfree.asp

and download the BonziBUDDY files again. This will be a fast process if you already have most of the files installed, since the install will only download and install the files you don't have or ones that have been updated since your last download or update.

Once you have successfully run the install of BonziBUDDY again, just follow the instructions in #1 above to uninstall BonziBUDDY.

Clean up after Uninstalling

When BonziBUDDY is uninstalled, there are a few small files left in your BonziBUDDY directory that will remind Bonzi what your settings and preferences are should you ever decide to install him again. They are very small and will not harm your computer in any way, but it is safe to delete this folder if BonziBUDDY is already removed from your system.

mfg, Carl.
