BonziBuddy and most other software of this type can be removed by [Ad-aware|http://www.lavasoftusa.com]. In some cases the Spyware will try to remove Ad-aware first, and/or prevent lavasoft's download site from resolving so you might have to download it via an uninfected computer.

For best results you are advised to use the following two Spyware-removers [Ad-aware|http://www.lavasoftusa.com], and [SpyBot - search&destroy|http://www.safer-networking.org/].
