After getting fed up with Bonzi changing my home page and popping up everytime I view a new item on Amazon (trying to help me find better prices...) I went to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled him. After the necessary reboot, I still have this $ icon in my task bar that is trying to get me to upgrade Bonzi! I'm now searing the registry and removing all keys referring to Bonzi... I wouldn't mind Bonzi so much if it were easier to turn him off.

To get rid of the $ icon, which is probably started when you reboot/log in to windows, run MSCONFIG, and disable it using the Startup tab.

Cool. I hadn't seen the MSCONFIG util. I usually just edit the registry directly.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
