Sounds like you have some adware installed without your permission.\n\nDownload "Spybot search and destroy" and run it. It will find the adware and try to remove it. See link for program.\n\n\nTo prevent websites from installing adware, do the following if you're using Internet Explorer:\n\nTools - Internet Options - Advanced (tab) - scroll down to "browsing" and remove the checks from anything that says "enable install on demand"

Virus, adware and spyware scans will probably not detect Moviepass as it's none of these things.  It's actually a bunch of programs that have got themselves installed on your computer.\n\nWhatever you do, do not give them your visa card details or any other personal info.  If the program has become installed without anyone authorising it then you do not have to pay them anything.\n\nFor more info and full removal instructions go here http://profend.com/answers/moviepass

Try reading the T's + C's. Hopefully in there it'll say something like "if at anytime you wish to remove popCORN.com from your computer, please...."\n\nGood luck, sites like that can get really annoying.

Yes, but if you do it to friends only, who is going to tell.  If you keep your enterprise small, you should be ignoired, but yes it is illegal.\n\nYou can always tell your customers that the movie is free but the delivery and pickup (or handling) charges will be $$?

Drivecleaner is a piece of S*&t.  If you get a pop-up from them, it's on you system and is very difficult to get off.  Avoid them.  I look at it this way - why would I purchase from a company who installs unauthorized pop-up software to advertise their product?  What am I getting if I actually pay them for a product?  And there is no way to contact them unless you buy from them.  \n\nI use spybot and the free version works great.

It probably wasn't one of your kids.  Moviepass has been found on tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of computers and in almost every case it's appeared without anyone's knowledge or consent.\n\nThe marketing campaign is very aggressive.  I'm assuming that what's happened is that Movipass has installed itself on your computer and you're now getting repeated demands for payment because your 3 day trial has expired.  These demands will be in the form of pop-ups that play music and tell you that you must pay or your credit rating will be impaired, legal action taken etc etc.  The pop-ups last for 90 seconds and stop you doing anything with your computer.\n\nWhat you probably aren't aware of is that you have an account with Movipass (just like the program you never wanted you've also got an account you never wanted).\n\nIf you go to this website... http://profend.com/answers/moviepass it will take you through all the steps needed to cancel your account and remove MoviePass from your computer.

Do not pay popcorn.net, its gimmick and they are already being sued for what they are doing. You need to run these scans. Start with superantispyware first.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\nTry this scan, its free, it removes\nI-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.

Below is the answer I have given to other people here who are having problems with Moviepass but first a word on the previous answers...  Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware are excellent free programs which I'd highly recommend but unfortunately they don't remove Moviepass (it's a program as opposed to spyware or adware).  The second answer directs you to Thor Shrocks useful site and you should find that the removal instructions there will work (although it's not necessary to install Firefox).\n\n------------------------\n\nPhone Moviepass on 866 431-7720 (dial 001 if calling from outside the US) and cancel your account - you'll need to quote your Customer ID number, you may be asked for your IP address - these should be stated on the annoying pop-up style window.\n\nThe only spyware remover that gets rid of Moviepass is Spyware Doctor, the only anti-virus program is Panda Internet Security.\n\nThe program will be listed in Add/Remove under the name Notify (or something similar) or Download Manager but using Add/Remove to delete these only takes you to the Moviepass website.\n\nThe files on your hard drive could include any number of the following...\n\nAltBill \nAltPayments \nAltPayV2 \nDownloadManager \nFileGrabber \nFSupport \nITBills \nLicenseManager \nMPNotifier \nMyAccessMedia \nNotify, Notifier, Notification or anything similar (these names often have numbers with them) \nOptimumOnline \nP2PNetworks \nWhenU \nAnything with MoviePass, MovieLand or MediaPipe in the name \n\nI have a website dedicated to helping people remove Moviepass and over half a million people have visited - the vast majority say they have no idea how Moviepass came to be on their computer. If no-one did agree to install it then the way they are operating is illegal and you don't have to pay them anything - the demands for money and threats of legal action are an attempt to frighten people into paying for something they never asked for.\n\nPlease visit http://profend.com/answers/moviepass... for more info about Moviepass and full removal instructions. Please use the link on the front page to report them to the FTC.

I cancelled my Netflix membership last week.  It appears they're doing whatever they can to keep frequent users from getting their fair share of movies each month.  They claim they're losing money on subscribers who watch and return movies every other day.  Critics are calling the practice 'throttling'.\n\nDuring my last weeks with Netflix, I had two movies come up missing.  They never arrived in my mailbox.  I reported the delivery failure and they promised to send out duplicates. A few days after the replacements arrived, the original two movies mysteriously showed up back in their delivery center.  My hunch is that they never actually sent the first ones out, so I lost a week waiting for replacements that weren't strictly necessary.  They won't tell you there's a secret quota, but I've had long waits between rounds of shipping and receiving.

I generally do not buy from popup advertisers.  Not only do I find the popups annoying, but I've learned that if they're spending money on that nonsense, I'm not necessarily getting the best price.  Most popups are blocked by my computer--but occasionally one will remind me of something that I need to go and buy elsewhere.

If you download the google taskbar (quite a well behaved one in fairness), it will also block 90+ of pop up adverts\n\nhttp://desktop.google.com/

I think you'll agree with me when I say that Moviepass is a pain in the you know where.\n\nJust need to clarify that it's moviepass.tv and not moviepass.com you're referring to.  On the basis that it is then...\n\nMoviepass it seems, is something that installs itself on a users computer without their knowledge.  It lies dormant for 3 days after which time it places ever more frequent pop-ups on your screen demanding subscription charges - this being on the basis that you didn't cancel during the initial 3 day trial period (the same 3 days when you didn't even know it was on your computer).\n\nIt's something that's affected a lot of people - on Answers alone there's about 60 posts similar to yours.\n\nAnyway, the good news is that you can get rid of it but it takes a bit of doing.  On this webpage that I've created here... http://profend.com/answers/moviepass.html you'll find step by step instructions taking you through the removal procedure.\n\nGood luck in removing it and if you get a moment please give me some feedback about how successful it was, did the instructions make sense etc (either on here or use the link on the webpage).

this is normal.  consult the verizon support center on dis-abling their pop=ups....or you could uninstall the verizon software...you don't need it.\n\nyou could also click-start....run...type in "msconfig", press enter. click the startup tab, and look for an entry with 'verizon' in it, and un-check it.
