Pros: Nothing
Cons: His stupid jokes, his awful voice, everything.
Summary: Don't you even think about getting Bonzi for your computer, it is not worth it. It may look good at first, but a few days later, he will just wreck your computer. Bonzi is a virus. His voice sounds like a computerised Grover from Sesame Street. And ... read more

Pros: Very cute character, brings a lot of fun.
Cons: A bit distracting sometimes and probably slow down the CPU a little bit
Summary: Bonzi is a lovely character that adds life to a computer. It is good that someone will greet you when you boot your PC, and reminds you that it's already late at night (though that advice is seldom taken). Sometimes, it is a bit distracting and may even ... read more

Pros: neat
Cons: hacker, destroys computers, sends you viruses, ANNOYING, also makes you pay for more features.

Pros: He is a cute little guy with a big smile!
Cons: He's an annoying salesman!
Summary: I've found Bonzi Buddy to be quite entertaining at times. The way he pops up & says nice little things & eats his banana's is cool. I like how he swings accross the computer screen from a vine & a cloud of dust appearing when he lands. The option to ... read more

Pros: There isn't any when it comes to spyware and a pop-up ad generator
Cons: Popup ads, spyware, evil product!
Summary: This is a cute front for an evil idea of generating pop-up ads on your computer using a cute gorilla that can't speak very well. Please don't install this program, and then call your ISP complaining of spam and pop-up ads - you did it to yourself.

Pros: cute at first
Cons: annoying, expensive
Summary: He is okay at first when you don't know him, gets annoying. You have to pay or he can't do anything but tell stupid jokes. I didn't pay. If you didn't get him yet, don't do it, you'll regret it. He is going to tell you how he wants to go to school, learn ... read more

Pros: Cute and entertaining
Cons: Messes up your computer!
Summary: I thought that this would be a great idea.
Not only would Bonzi amuse and entertain me, but he would help me become more efficient!
And to top it off, what was supposedly worth 40 dollars would be free to download.
So I sat through two ... read more

Pros: None whatsoever. No, really, none.
Cons: Makes you wish capital punishment was still legal.
