Just purchased bonzo buddy, advised me of unauthorised attack on computer, and said it terminated. I am concerned about security. Is it worth it and does anybody know how to utilise it's search features to track down unauthorised attacks or know of it's efficacy in that regard.

Any suggestions appreciated.

If you want to protect your computer get a firewall (http://www.zonealarm.com). If you want to be protected from virus get a virus scan (http://www.grisoft.com). They are both free!

Bonzi Buddy Removal Instructions (http://www.pchell.com/support/bonzibuddy.shtml)

You'd better download Ad-aware and Spybot from the Download Page (http://doa2.host.sk/) as well, these programs remove spyware installed by things like Bonzi Buddy.

Yeah, delete it, uninstall it and whatever you do never use it again. Those pop-ups saying there is something wrong with your system are just a ploy, they have no idea what is going on in your system. It is spyware, they will be sending your usage information to tons of companies that pay them and you will be getting blasted by SPAM and pop-ups marketed toward your surfing habits. Not good, get rid of it, unless you like that sort of thing.

I have had those pop up alerts before, and thought they were a ruse, read it somewhere, just DID it, and glad I checked, thanks for de-install instructions.

Parted with the annual fee. I KNOW what spyware is, how thick!!!!!

Thanks for help
