I stayed at a bed & breakfast and they gave me free cheesecake after uninstalling Bonzi for them. I just wanted to browse the web faster! Didn't take much to uninstall malware back then. I probably added years to the useful life of their computer, it ate so much CPU.

I remember trying to remove BB from a PC we had and having a hell of a time doing it. It wasn't just asking it to stop in Programs & Features, I was rooting it out of the registry for hours and if you rebooted without getting all of it, the talons spread.

You got lucky.

Lucky, or an earlier version with shorter talons.
