This .AVS file was origianlly part of a zipped file pac offered by Microsoft on their download site alongside the Character Editor for Microsoft Chat. It was originally offered as a help for people to get to learn how to use the editor. After a while there were many differesnt versions of the same MS Chat characters and the .AVS pack was removed from the download site. 

For a time, Steve aka Y_Guy, then held up the torch and continued to offer the AVS's on his site. Albiet already colored, one could just change the color as they desired. Prior to Steve closing his Dido.com site (The Un-Official MS Chat Add-On Site), he too removed them for basically the same reason Microsft did.

With most of the old characters no longer being used or now have inactive auto-download url's in them, I have made these .AVS's once again available in hopes that more people would divert their attention from developing characters out of copyrighted photos and attempt to create a real "Comic" Character of their own!

It is my understanding that these Microsoft .AVS files are considered 'public domain'.
