So, bonzibuddy can not send any data to it's targets, because they have been removed. I've tried all 100+ links in her file, and they all either take you to a removed page, blank page, 'obsolete page', or the home page. These links all relate to how peedy a.k.a. Again as stated before, I've viewed the coding of peedy's files. kaspersky blocks all outgoing connections to bonzi's websites. It took me over 3 weeks to figure out how to do this, so I have obviously concluded that it is ok for my system. I would have to take a 12 year old hard drive from a windows 95 computer, and usb boot it as another drive to get the 'real' bonzi. I am using a renamed bonzi.acs file so it ill look and talk like bonzi, but since it is impossible to connect to the servers, I can't have the actual real version. What I have is peedy the bonzi version of the microsoft agent character. So before you call an outdated piece of unsupported software 'crappy spyware', do some research. He can read my lavabit email aloud to me. Yes, he still can connect to pop3 email servers. He is a computer sidekick that can download what I want, tell me jokes, and he even reads my email. It is not a good idea, I just have him in my sig because I like him. He can't send out personal information, and if you are still suspicious, block his outgoing transmissions, like I did with kaspersky. I tried going to those links, and they had been removed, or not working.īonzibuddy is outdated, and unsupported. Those links told bonzi buddy what to do and what to send. I opened up bonzi's exe file on notepad and got a lot of links. Now, it is basically harmless, and since it cannot connect to it's servers, it cannot damage a computer. It was created in 1999 with good intentions, but was later changed. BonziBUDDY is an outdated, unsupported program. The only thing bonzi buddy will do that is 'harmful' now, is to set internet explorer's homepage to. If you try to download the spyware version, it is not there. It can no longer be downloaded either, because you would need to connect to the bonzi's servers which are non existant. Therefor, it can NO LONGER send out private information. Proof that Bonzi Software is no longer sending malicious data to it's servers!īonzi software got sued in 2004, and discontinued bonzibuddy.
