Invasive Bonzai Buddy
I was wrong, it wasn't Gator it was worse. That invasive spam program called Bonzai Buddy, however it's spelt. That was the program that would install itself along with Snood. You couldn't even use Snood if you turned down Bonzai Buddy. I found my old post about the whole thing in Kids BackWash.
I wrote to the program's creator at the time and he insisted there was nothing wrong with Bonzai Buddy and it was not completely invasive. He was misled or misleading. Either way, we'll see if he changed his tune.
