Bonzi is a Microsoft Agent character released by Bonzi Software, Inc. as part of the BonziBuddy software. His appearance is a purple gorilla.
Use in BonziBUDDY
Until version 3.0, Peedy was used as the assistant in BonziBUDDY. However, Microsoft Corporation did not approve of their character being used for the program and BonziBuddy changed its character to the widely known purple gorilla. The Bonzi character stayed in the program until the program was discontinued and remains the main character in BonziBuddy versions 3.x and 4.0. Due to the fact that it was a part of a malware program, people were initially worried about its potential insecurity, however the concerns died down when it was revealed that ACS files don't contain executable code and therefore cannot carry malware.
