  Pros

  I like Peedy and remember him since I had Bonzai Buddy with him before in the 1990's and i liked his interaction, jokes and reminders and things. i would like it better if more MS Agents than the 4 free ones could be added or created.

  Cons

  This reminds me of BONZAI BUDDY which had Peedy and which also contained Adware and hidden phishing malware that was its undoing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonzai_buddy This program does include a link to PapaTsoftware on the menu that comes up. I have no way of knowing whether it is collecting information or doing other hidden things. I really wish others could evaluate this and state more clearly whether i have anything to worry about or if it is safe. CNET can you check this one?

  Summary

  <br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Nov 7, 2012<p/>OKAY..I installed Peedy and Friends. Immediately AVAST antivirus gave me a warning but I did it anyway (Stupid Me). The installation did not stop until I cancelled it. Peedy came up and seems to mostly be a menu program. he does not tell jokes, chat with you or read documents. I tried uninstall and uninstall option. I clicked and it says 'cannot uninstall a program that is already not installed! Hmmmmm Peedy icon is on desktop.. i clicked.. sure enuf he comes right up. in control panel Peedy is NOT LISTED on the list of installed software... I have tried the IOBit Uninstaller to no avail. Shades of BONZAI BUDDY... I can't get rid of this thing! I am running a pretty generic computer.. Gateway 505 3GHZ, 2GB RAM, Win XP Pro. LEARN from my mistake please and do not mess with this program that is not that useful when you do get it installed.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Nov 7, 2012<p/>OKAY..I installed Peedy and Friends.
