Back in Win 98 days it was soooo neat to have this little guy talk to you with all his antics when you were on the computer.
@choofye we know just saying it was cool.
Not a virus it was spyware
All he did though was just be Google, taking info and catering to you.
@@omiheaddev7090 that’s definitely not ‘all’ he was doing.
He’d also regularly serve ads, misleading ones, telling you that your device was at risk, to trick you into installing other bonzi software, and would also send your data to bonzi servers
Personally I think they're kinda creepy.
11:38 I like how Peedy just smiled when Bonzi crahed.
Peedy murdered Bonzi

Peedy killed Bonzi i-
Bonzi was my childhood nightmare, it was the first "virus" I encountered as a child and I didn't really know what to do

There was a time when about 1 in 10 users asking me for help with their PC wanted BonziBuddy "gone."
lol
@0 May have been spyware, but most people just wanted it gone because it was an annoyance and they were having trouble completely uninstalling it.
@Content Deleted! Jogged my memory. Your right. I do recall that now.
Several of the computers I removed it from were even done at the parents request to get it off their children's computers.
Ah, the days when every program in Windows wanted admin permissions whether it needed them or not.
this actually affects the security of your pc and windows, the system thinks that you're an adulte and you know what to do.
i still remember when i wanted to install gta sa (cracked version), it asked me for the admin permission, it was at 01/14/2006.
i still waiting for gta sa to run and my pc to boot.
Just like apps nowadays where a flashlight app needs to access my contacts information.

The blue box is because games like Speedy Eggbert and stuff (90s programs) didn't use pngs, they used jpg/jpegs and had one solid background color that was removed in the program
Imagine life without pngs

You need to make a tutorial on how to watch netflix in windows 95
Or Disney+ on internet explorer (Atleast try!)
Probably not possible. Last browser that I know of in active development for Windows 95 is RetroZilla, and even that is pretty much a fork of Firefox 2 with support for some modern security protocols.
@@VectraQS Well, KernelEx is able to run a version of Opera from 2012 or 2014 or so. Probably still way too old.
@@aoelp Was für ein geiler TH-cam Name 😂😂😂
@@marcp. Ja. Spongebob inspiriert (siehe gleichnamige Episode). Wobei ich aus irgendeinem Grund das "Sie" für zweite Person Singular höflich klein geschrieben habe, wie für dritte Person Singular/Plural. Fand ich halt eine lustige Alternative zu "Vorname Nachname" oder "Name eingeben" oder "Völlig unkreativer Name, der eigentlich viel zu lang ist...". 😁
The reason why it has a solid color background on it is because Windows 7 and later have an enhanced Aero theme, and apparently the Aero Theme causes the backgrounds around the agent characters. In Windows 7, setting the theme to Windows 7 Basic fixes the problem.
I still have the complete bonzi buddy with all add ons 😁
Download link?
@@Kristibek you probably would have had to have had them downloaded already
@@Kristibek Sorry if I misled you. I don't have it uploaded anywhere. Not sure but I'll check and see if it is legal to share it. If it is I'll put it up for the ppl who want it. However, you would be better off just using good windows agent software and use the gorilla agent. At least It used to be available back in the day. Cheers
@@johnbeaudette583 Please upload it on Google Drive.
@@So1 I plan on putting it up. Just have not had a chance to look for it. Get "dragon naturally speaking" you can have a whole lot more fun with that. I also have everything needed for a star trek computer type smart home setup. I think it is all free stuff as well. I'll post back here when I get it uploaded. Cheers

Since the servers that ran ads and tracked data have long since been shut off, BonziBuddy shouldn't be much of a threat anymore. However, we still recommend using a virtual machine to keep him contained if you really think that intentionally downloading animated malware is a good use of your time bonzi yay
Is there a similar thing to Bonzi that isn't a virus.. I love Peedy so much and want to hear his jokes and have him read out stuff to me???? Surely in the year of our lord 2023 I can get a virus free bird or monkey? Or some other cute animal?

@lLDiEGO wait that is an actually file called....intelpowerdet1p092.ogg
You can use virtual machines to avoid cause damage to your pc ;)
I just found your video and thought I would let you know that Version 4x does not have the GUI Menu that was a feature only in 3x. Version 4 went back to the popup menu when you click on Bonzi.
I can't believe people are still using the files I backed up So Many years Ago, I am glad I was able to backup the Gold Member Stuff when I did way back then so people can still Enjoy them.
I had forgot about the 432 installed made by I can't remember off the top of my Head from those backups I made so many years ago. I guess its now time to break out my Source Code for Bonzibuddy 5.0 I was working on years ago and see what it will take to get it working on Windows 10.
Hurray! More Bonzi buddy nostalgia! Love your channel

Okay
The "can anyone read my tiny comment?" Bot is b a c c
@a sussy bakathat’s short so that’s why i was still Reading
Why don’t you install it yourself
Good to know that in small text, okay thanks translates to thanks thanks, technology really has come a long way.
Awesome video,Michael!
6:51 POG
I loved when you just move the screen when he’s done downloading
"Okay, Thanks" - MJD
for the download manager, did you ever try modifying the window height like you can with other windows? that looked like the bottom of the list which would explain why you didn't see the stuff you added that went to the top.
3:57
Bonzi Peedy: Hello everybody and welcome back to another video!
Haha nice video! :D
Thanks for making this video. I was one of the (probably) many people who suggested this :)
Thanks for suggesting it!
@@MichaelMJD Where did you download the verisons from?
Nice vid Michael!
When you ran 3 and 4 at the same time both of them were running. You couldn't see them because They were in the same place.
NG DALI unlikely unless they both did the swing animation at the exact same time, which wouldn’t make sense since they were launched at different times
They were using the same character. That's why they appeared not to both be running.
@@AmyTheSilly Yeah you right. Forgot it was using the ms helper api.
10:43
Bonzibuddy: names the whole file by letters
Micheal: Thank you
7:07 Bonzi got some drip glasses
Bonzi: What the beaver said to the tree....? It was nice gnawing you ...
*heavy sigh* ~ Joel.
@@Mario583a *alarm sounds* duooooong... *screams sfx*
L
why did he do that to expand dong? does he actually do that?
Nice pfp
Excellent. More bonzi lore.
From what I understand, some legacy software doesn't work properly simply due to the fact that they try to perform actions that require administrative privileges. They assume they have such privileges because they were created before Windows Vista, when UAC was introduced. Something to keep in mind in future videos like this.
Yeah I typically have to run older programs like this with admin privileges to get anything to work properly
This man is some sort of god. It says he has no internet connection in the right down corner and he's still making this video.
"Let's see if Bonzi speaks"
Bonzi: **speaks**
*Shut.* 👌
You’re gonna get the blue background if you have a 3D theme. I did this experiment on a Windows 7 VM. When I had Aero on, I got the blue background. When I did not have Aero on, it was transparent.
Bonzi talks at 6:49
MJD: *mutes him*
I never thought I’d see this old piece of spyware brought back!!
The intro is amazing
"If we subscribed to MJD we could be friends with him!" - Bonzi Buddy
hmm... i smell peter knetter 👀
mmm yum peter knetter smell
7:20 Bonzie Buddy planning something devious later on in the video.
the bonzi budd voice makes me so happy
Bonzi Buddy prefigured Microsoft Copilot! This was the era before AI came along, where you could’ve a virtual assistant at your beck and call. BB sadly appeared before the full potential of a VA could be realised.Thanks for the memories! 😊
6:50 Also you can always continue to browse and enjoy the internet while I-
looks like it was developed with visual basic. I recognize the default icon and typical errors (error 53). And the download feature, you didn't see the file in the list because of the toolbar window. It uses usually only 1 row but because of some dpi issues it didn't fit in 1 row. You could try to right click the toolbar and select which icons should be shown. (eg remove 1 icon to make it 1 row).
thanks u helped me out with the background
i like how the parrot says
welcome back to another video!
"Asian character" count: over 9000. Fun aside, your videos are awesome, keep it up :)!
it was "Agent" as in Microsoft Agent
5:14 i just realised that if you look top left corner of the screen you can just barely see a "error message"? Is it a error message? I have no idea.
Have you tried to add more objects in download manager?
Maybe because of the height of the title and tools bar in windows 10 is different with older systems, items list seem to been blocked behind by the bar?
4:43 Try choosing “Exit” from the menu. That should close it.
Exit closes Bonzi/Paddy, Hide will most likely close the menu I think.
@Tristan Raine Yeah, that could have been it too. He should have tried both. The worst thing that would happen is that BonziBuddy closes. He’d just have to relaunch it.
that will close peddy
7:08 *bonzibuddy enjoys resting*
*MJD has trouble configuring the three softwares lol*
I regret having BonziBuddy on my computer when I was 5. Nice video btw.
Haha me tooooo
Nice video man
thank you!
The thumbnail is pure
Take a drink every time MJD says "actually"
RIP
Why the blue box? Well in older games (e. G. Doom) and probably older windows there was no "transparent" in sprites.
So they used bright pink, or bright blue instead.
Since we have proper transparency now, this only worked correctly once u enabled compability mode.
The default VB6 icon of BonziBuddy2 makes me feel really nostalgic.
Person: Who were you hacked by?
Me: *m o n k e*
Did someone notice Bonzi and Peedy looking at each other?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
Where? Timestamp?
6:49
BonziBuddy “ALSO, YOU CAN ALWAYS USE MY DOWNLOAD MANAGER TO BROWSER THE INTERNET SAFELY LOL 😈”
MJD “Okay, thanks”
6:35 is it normal for them to stare at eachother like that? Or is this a really weird coincidence? Are we experiencing the first steps toward AI taking over the world? Realizing its inside of a computer?
Conscious A.I
Holy shit your right a creepy coincidence
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED THIS
13:33 - why does it sound like “purple gorilla” is a roast
The history of Microsoft Agent should also be covered on this channel.
MJD making bonzi buddy seem like a safe program
(i mean it kinda is at this point but still you know what i mean)
How did you removed the background? Comptability :Win98/ME?
I will admit it... I had BonziBuddy for a while back in the day. It was entertaining for the first few minutes but the monkey had to go. Thanks for the video. It takes me back :)
Same,that’s how I had it surprised I didn’t get malware
bonzi buddy was made with Visual Basic (the icon for BonziBuddy2 is the defualt Visual Basic icon)?

[computer violently explodes as bonzi deletes the world]
the creepy thing is when Bonzi Buddy 2 and Bonzi Buddy 3 look at each other
Hey!!! BonziBuddy seems to be a threat to Windows system. My security suite detects it as a Pontentially Unwanted Program initially. I still mark it as safe and allow its installation but after installing it my security suite detects some threats like trojan horse, key loggers, spyware. I am wondering how can anybody allow these infections considering them as safe. Dont you think you are compromising with your security??? Agreed that the Bonzi servers are shut down but why the security suite detects so many infections even after marking the program as safe? Could the installation file be injected with some trojan horse or spyware. I mean couldn't the installation file be manipulated? Is it really safe to install?
Can you help me get bonzi buddy because it says permission required but I don't know how to change it
@@ANTIHEROO2 you need permission from the developer on windows or Mac
Ohh! Please do not continue to mark it as safe. The threats are either because of a back door that is made when BonziBuddy is downloaded, or because you may have downloaded a malicious version of BonziBuddy (example one created by a hacker who most likely implemented some viruses into their version of BonziBuddy) so try to remove all of the viruses as well as BonziBuddy. Basically I’m trying to say just delete the software.
@@Unknownname315 Amazing to me that Bonzi has fresh victims in 2023.. I want the program myself but can't find a safe version of it :(
I love it.... Bonzi Buddy use to mention my name...
Bonzi at windows 11:ahh Microsoft killed me
they need to make a high quality bonzibuddy
You should do a video on "Cyber Buddy", which is extremely similar to this but without the Spyware concerns.
CyberBuddy can't be downloaded anymore. That website is offline, and plus, while the file has been hosted elsewhere, it is an online installer.

BonziBuddy is really cute. I think it would make a great application if it was not malware
Sorry I'm a little ignorant, what's a malware?
@@_giuliaa._ A file that can harm your pc
"All we have to do is run it as an administrator" and this is one of the great problems of windows. Software actually expects admin rights for virtually no good reason. I can kinda excuse it because back in the Windows 9x days there was no concept of privileges in the windows ecosystem but even modern software is far too admin happy.
Who cares we should have all the freedom we want if we buy it.
@@Leavemealone670 yes, you are fully entitled to have poor cyber security if you want that. That doesn't change my point. Software that expects it with no good reason is objectively terrible and a security nightmare.
@@Scoopta nope we should have all the freedom we want and do what we want if you want to secure your administrative mode then hire someone tech savvy or figure it out yourself like me.
@@Leavemealone670 You're not making an argument. My complaint lies in software requiring admin rights for no good reason. I.e. software that cannot be secured other than to simply not use it. Or software that thinks it's an acceptable fix for broken features and breeds a culture in users of thinking that it is acceptable for software to require.
@@Scoopta because mods can’t be supported without it but pc gives the choice to change that.
See! Bonzi buddy was so cool! and useful...great software.
I love this exe.💙☺️
9:10 that dab tho
That wasn't a dab
Is this safe to do? I'm nervous about doing this since you said it was Spyware in the other video, but I'm curious as to why you haven't made any disclaimers about this being Spyware or commented as to whether or not this is actually safe...?
No DONT download this EVER it steals all ur information ,its a spyware,malware,and adware
very cool
