Bonzi.com Unsolicited harrassment by Nationalwide Internet

Hi there, Since Friday 13 July, I have had an extremely annoying BonziBuddy window which pops up on my screen, followed by another and another and another every 5 - 10 minutes. This morning alone, I was greeted by 24 of these pop up windows on my screen, which had to be closed down one by one.

It seems that one is not given any choice in terms of being able to get rid of this irritating pop up other than to be forced to download the programme in the hope the the harrassment will stop. On principle I refuse to be bullied into downloading BonziBuddy, particularly owing to the fact that it is unsolicited and also given that I made the mistake of doing so a few years ago and was unable to completely rid my PC of it for another two years.

At the current rate pop up, I am likely to be manually needing to close around 200 - 300 of these over the space of this weekend. Their website also is not at all accommodating in terms of assisting the customer to get rid of their harrassment. The only support offered that midly alludes to this is how to uninstall an already installed version of this unfortunate programme. However even within this support, they openly admit that the uninstall feature leaves several files behind on your computer, so that they can continue harrassing you for a few more years.

Frankly I feel that their highly unethical and manipulative approach to doing business constitutes abuse of the grossest kind. One simply needs to scan bulletin boards across the internet to find out how many people are irate not only about this very issue, but also several reports of how difficult it is to rid your life of this programme once you've downloaded it. So far, it seems that the only way that frustrated individuals such as my self can get through to an apparently very unapproachable company is to boycott their advertisers, and then contact the advertisers directly and let them know about it. It's unfortunate to have to go this route, but they seem to leave no other option.

These people need to learn about integrity and ethics and I hope that you have more success than I have so far.in the interim, in the course of completing this report, I have had to close down another 4 Bonzi windows, while techsupport merrily enjoys their weekend and clearly shelves complaints until Monday morning.
