IN THE MATTER OF BONZI SOFTWARE, INC.
CONSENT ORDER, ETC., IN REGARD TO ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF SEC. 5 OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ACT Docket C-4126; File No. 0423016 Complaint, October 7, 2004--Decision, October 7, 2004 This consent order, among other things, prohibits Respondents Bonzi Software, Inc., Joe Bonzi, and Jay Bonzi from misrepresenting the extent to which their product InternetALERT -- or any other software product or service that is marketed as enhancing security -- will reduce the risk of unauthorized access into a computer. The order also prohibits the respondents from misrepresenting the extent which any such product or service will maintain, protect, or provide security features that will enhance the security or privacy of any computer -- or any data that is stored in a computer, including personally identifiable information -- and from misrepresenting the performance, benefits, or efficacy of any computer software product or service that is marketed as enhancing security or privacy. In addition, the order requires the respondents to pay refunds to current InternetALERT subscribers who opt to cancel their subscriptions.
Participants For the Commission: Laura M. Sullivan, Dean C. Forbes, Thomas B. Pahl, Mary K. Engle, and Hajime Hadeishi. For the Respondents: Saro Rizzo, and Barry J. Reingold, Perkins Coie, LLP.
COMPLAINT The Federal Trade Commission, having reason to believe that Bonzi Software, Inc., a corporation, and Joe Bonzi and Jay Bonzi, individually and as officers of said corporation (“respondents”), have violated the provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and it appearing to the Commission that this proceeding is in the public interest, alleges:
VOLUME 138 Complaint 1. Respondent Bonzi Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a privately owned company with its principal office and place of business located at 3000 Broad Street, Suite 115, San Luis Obispo, California 93401.
Respondents Joe Bonzi and Jay Bonzi are the founders, owners, and officers of the corporate respondent. Individually, or in concert with others, they formulate, direct, and control the acts and practices of the corporate respondent, including the acts and practices alleged in this complaint.
2. The acts and practices of respondents as alleged in this complaint have been in or affecting commerce, as “commerce” is defined in Section 4 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. 3. Respondents develop, advertise, sell, license, and distribute various software products, including “InternetALERT.” InternetALERT is software that monitors Internet traffic entering a consumer’s computer and provides alerts when an attacker attempts to access the computer from the Internet without the consumer’s knowledge or permission. InternetALERT is offered for sale, sold, distributed, and licensed by respondents primarily through respondents’ Web site www.bonzi.com at the price of $49 for a one-year subscription.
4. Respondents promote InternetALERT software on the Internet through banner, button, and pop-up ads, which, when clicked, transfer consumers to one of several Web pages advertising the software. These click-through Web pages, or landing pages, link to the respondents’ Web site www.bonzi.com, where consumers can download InternetALERT from the Internet. Respondents also promote the software during the software’s installation process.
5. Respondents have disseminated, or have caused to be disseminated, banner, button, and pop-up advertisements for the InternetALERT software, including, but not limited to, those attached as Exhibits A through C:
VOLUME 138 Complaint Exhibit A Exhibit A, button ad located at www.mallbusters.com/internet_alert.htm (as of July 3, 2003).
Exhibit B Exhibit B, banner ad located at www.myconsumerguide.com/internet_alert.htm (as of May 5, 2003).
VOLUME 138 Complaint Exhibit C Exhibit C, pop-up ad located at www.bonzi.com/internetalert/ia99.asp (as of April 1, 2003). 6. Respondents have disseminated, or have caused to be disseminated, Web pages, including, but not limited to, that attached as Exhibit D, containing, among others, the following statements:
Exhibit D InternetALERT Protect Your PC from Internet Attackers! Your Computer’s Data Is At Risk! (SEE BELOW.) Your computer’s address is: [IP Address].

7. Respondents have disseminated, or have caused to be disseminated, various statements on their Web site www.bonzi.com during the InternetALERT software’s download process, and through a message alert during the software’s uninstall process, including, but not limited to, those shown in Exhibits E and F:

VOLUME 138 Complaint Exhibit F InternetAlert - WARNING WARNING: Your (sic) are about to Disable InternetAlert. Your computer will no longer be protected against outside harmful attacks. Are you sure you want to disable InternetAlert? [Yes] [No]”
Exhibit F: Message displayed during the uninstall process for the InternetALERT software (as of July 3, 2003). 8. Data enter and exit a computer connected to the Internet by using gateways known as communications ports. These ports enable a computer to establish connections to other computers and to exchange data and are used to handle common network services, such as Web browser or email client services. Ports that are being used are “open” and “listening” for communications, for different periods of time, depending on the type of service they are handling at the time. Internet attackers seek to identify which ports are open on a computer through “port scanning” or other techniques, and may be able to enter a computer from the Internet by using one of a computer’s open ports. 9. InternetALERT monitors and provides alerts to consumers on certain communications ports concerning attempts to gain unauthorized access into computers. Prior to October 2003, InternetALERT automatically monitored up to eleven communications ports. Since October 2003, it has automatically monitored up to twenty-one communications ports. Consumers also may be able to manually select additional ports for monitoring by InternetALERT.
10. If an automatically selected port or manually selected port is closed at the time that InternetALERT is installed, the software will open the closed port to monitor it and provide alerts. VOLUME 138 Complaint 11. If an automatically selected port or manually selected port is open at the time that InternetALERT is installed, InternetALERT will not monitor it.
12. Through the means described in Paragraphs 5 through 7, respondents have represented, expressly or by implication, that InternetALERT significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access into computers and the data stored in them. 13. In truth and in fact, InternetALERT does not significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access into computers and the data stored in them. InternetALERT does not significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access into computers because it provides only limited protection against intrusion into computers, as described in Paragraphs 9 through 11 above. Moreover, InternetALERT does not provide other security features that can significantly reduce the risk to data stored in computers, such as features that prevent personally identifiable information stored in a computer from being sent over the Internet without a consumer’s knowledge or consent, or that provide computer virus protection. 14. The acts and practices of respondents as alleged in this complaint constitute unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
THEREFORE, the Federal Trade Commission this seventh day of October, 2004, has issued this complaint against respondents. EXHIBIT A Internet Alert - Download Internet Alert - Internet Alert Privacy Protection - Internet Alert Anti Virus Page 1 of 1 Shopping... Without the Baggage"

VOLUME 138 Decision and Order ATTACHMENT A E-MAIL NOTIFICATION TO CURRENT SUBSCRIBERS OF INTERNETALERT SUBJECT LINE: Important Refund Notice Concerning Your InternetALERT Subscription Dear [Recipient’s name]:
You may be eligible to receive a partial refund from Bonzi Software, Inc. for your InternetALERT subscription. Bonzi recently settled a dispute with the Federal Trade Commission concerning its advertisements for the InternetALERT software product. The FTC charged that InternetALERT does not significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access into computers and the information that is stored in them because it provides only limited protection against intrusion into computers. As part of the settlement, Bonzi agreed to offer to current subscribers who cancel their InternetALERT subscriptions a refund for the amount representing the unused portion of their subscriptions.
In settling the case, Bonzi has not admitted any wrongdoing or violation of law. Nonetheless, to resolve this matter, we have agreed to discontinue making the challenged claims in the complaint and offer refunds to current subscribers. To cancel and obtain a refund, you must respond to this e-mail by [date 60 days from receipt of e-mail] with a request that your InternetALERT subscription be cancelled. Bonzi will automatically credit the amount of the refund to the credit card that you used to pay for your InternetALERT subscription. If this credit card is no longer active or was renewed since you paid for your InternetALERT subscription, include with your cancellation request a mailing address to which a refund check may be sent. VOLUME 138 Decision and Order For more information about the FTC’s settlement with Bonzi and protecting your computer, visit the web site [Link to FTC’s press release].
VOLUME 138 Analysis Analysis of Proposed Consent Order to Aid Public Comment The Federal Trade Commission has accepted, subject to final approval, an agreement containing a consent order from Bonzi Software, Inc., Joe Bonzi, and Jay Bonzi (“respondents”). The proposed consent order has been placed on the public record for thirty (30) days for receipt of comments by interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the agreement and the comments received, and will decide whether it should withdraw from the agreement or make final the agreement’s proposed order.
This matter involves the advertising and promotion of Bonzi InternetALERT software. According to the FTC complaint, the respondents represented that Internet ALERT significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access into computers and the data stored in them. The FTC alleges that in fact InternetALERT does not significantly reduce this risk. The proposed consent order contains provisions designed to prevent the respondents from engaging in similar acts and practices in the future.
Part I.A. of the order prohibits the respondents from misrepresenting the extent to which InternetALERT or any other software product or service that is marketed as enhancing security will reduce the risk of unauthorized access into a computer. Part I.B. also prohibits the respondents from misrepresenting the extent which any such product or service will maintain, protect, or provide security features that will enhance the security or privacy of any computer, or any data that is stored in a computer, including personally identifiable information. VOLUME 138 Analysis Part II prohibits the respondents from making any misrepresentations concerning the performance, benefits, or efficacy of any computer software product or service that is marketed as enhancing security or privacy. Part III of the order requires respondents to pay refunds to current InternetALERT subscribers who opt to cancel their subscriptions. Subscribers who cancel their subscriptions will receive from the respondents a refund that represents the unused portion of their InternetALERT subscription. Part IV of the proposed order would require respondents to notify their retailers, affiliates, and similar third parties that advertise, promote, or sell InternetALERT to discontinue making any of the claims prohibited by the order.
Parts V though IX of the order require respondents to keep copies of relevant advertisements and materials substantiating the claims made in the advertisements; to provide copies of the order to certain of their current and future personnel; to notify the Commission of changes in corporate structure; and to file compliance reports with the Commission. Part X provides that the order will terminate after twenty (20) years under certain circumstances.
The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the proposed order, and it is not intended to constitute an official interpretation of the agreement and proposed order or to modify in any way their terms.
