BonziBUDDY

Bonzi buddy is a malware that was released in 1999 and discontinued in 2004 with only about seven versions ever released. The official website indicated that it would help a person to explore the Internet through various functions, along with his own partner. First emerging as a green parrot named Peedy, before taking the form of an animated purple gorilla residing on a user's desk and communicating through the use of Microsoft technology, BonziBUDDY received wide recognition as a Trojan, predominantly as a piece of adware, spyware and a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). However, the ad servers are down now, so Bonzi now can't spy on users.
