All the answers above are good answers but Moviepass is a sneaky program.\n\nI've been looking into Moviepass and from hundreds of comments it seems that Moviepass is almost always installed without the users knowledge.  Once installed it lies dormant on your computer for 3 days after which time you start getting demands for payment as your 3 day trial has expired.\n\nIt's unlikely to be spyware or adware (I'm awaiting confirmation from Norton and McAfee on this) and it's been confirmed that it's not a virus.  As such this makes it much harder for normal adware, spyware and virus scans to deal with it.  Try these methods as they may work.\n\nPerforming a system restore does work but this can lead to the loss of other programs, updates and customisations.\n\nBe aware that Moviepass installs up to 5 programs and several files on your computer and unless you delete all of them you'll still have traces of Moviepass left behind.\n\nI've put together a webpage with detailed step by step instructions designed for all levels of computer user from novice to advanced.  The instructions are here... http://profend.com/answers/moviepass.html \n\nI hope this helps you.

This sounds like harassing to me.  And of course, they can't harass you like this.  What exactly are they doing?  Are they holding your pay or something?  Did they deduct something from your paycheck?  If that is the case, just go to the labor department and make them pay what you deserve as well as some interest on your due wages. They cannot hold your wages even if you actually stole something.\n\nIf you were fired, then just get some unemployment from them.  I would contact their HR departement but be careful about what you say or do with them.  If possible, keep a record of everything from now on like who you spoke to, when, and about what.\n\nIf you are worried about them giving you a bad reference, then simply don't include them or if your new employer still asks you for you previous employer's opinion, then don't worry either.  Hollywood video by law cannot give you a bad reference deliberately.  Worst comes to worst, they can just say that we decline to comment.\n\nif they still keep on harassing you, then find out exactly what they want.  Otherwise, just threaten a lawsuit or have a detailed discussion with their HR department.  The company arbitration, I am not really a big fan of but I am sure that they probably made you sign a paper in which case you have to go through their arbitration program first anyway.  So just go through with arbitration, and then if and only if necessary, take it to court.  If there is no money involved, DO NOT TAKE IT TO COURT!  It will end up costing you way more than you will gain.

DON'T DO IT!  It is likely a pop-up ad that is either spyware, or will take you to a spot and tell you to buy this special software to fix a non-existent problem.  These pop-up ads are total rip offs.

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.

How to remove Movieland\nProblem:\n\n\nMovieland has gotten onto your computer. It takes over the whole screen and probably has a girl talking to you.\n\nMovieland may have been installed on your computer following a visit by you (or someone at your computer) from a paid link for a "3 Day Free Trial". The software continues to pop up and request payment for services following the 3 day trial. This is a software package we refer to as malware, as it hinders and inhibits the user's ability to use their computer.\n\nThe real problem with Movieland is their Terms of Use, which you (or someone using your computer) may have agreed to by clicking "run" in the Internet Explorer Security Warning.\n\nSolution:\n\nMovieland installs a number of files that allow it to keep popping up requests for payment (which you may or may not have unwittingly agreed to when clicking "run" without reading the terms of service). \n\nHere's how to get rid of it:\n\nClick the Start menu, and Control Panel should be in there (or Settings, then Control Panel). Then open Add/Remove Programs. It should open with a big list of things. Look through the list for:\n\n\nAltPayments,\nDownload Manager\n\nMedia Pipe\n\nMyAccessMedia, or\n\nP2Pnetworks. \n\nProbably just P2PNetworks will be there, and so click on it so it's highlighted, and then click the Remove (or Change/Remove or Add/Remove) button. Tell it you do want to uninstall, and go through its process, then click close. Now it should be gone from the list. If any of the other ones do happen to be there, do the same process to remove them.\n\nNow close Add/Remove Programs and we're going to Program Files. Open My Computer, then open "Local Disk (C:)", then open Program Files (click on show contents if contents are hidden in either folder). The items we want to delete in there are:\n\n\nAltPayments or altpayV2\nDownload Manager\n\nfsupport\n\nITBills (If you have this one, you probably will have to go into safe mode to remove. Or you can end the itbill process if you know how to do that and then delete the folder.)\n\nMediaPipe\nMyAccessMedia\nAnything with Notifier or Notification in the name.\n\nYou also have something called MovieLand Terms or MovieLand Hotmail Something (I don't remember exactly, sorry), possibly at the end of the list rather than under "M" where you'd expect. Delete that also. Anything with Movieland in the title, delete.\n\nYou probably don't have p2pnetworks in Program Files (since we just removed it in Add/Remove Programs), but if you do delete it too.\nNow once all that is gone, go back into Add/Remove Programs and see if you have Notification Utility. If you do have it in the list, remove it (thanks to the commenters below for this tip). If trying to remove this takes you to the movieland website, make sure you removed all the things from Program Files.\n\nIf It Didn't Work:\n\nYou may get a message that says it cannot delete the file due to it is being used by another person or program and to close all programs. If you get this message, you've got to do more work. Do the following:\n\n1) Download Pocket KillBox from: http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.zip . You probably won't need it, but just in case, we might as well download it now, before we go into Safe Mode.\n\n2) Restart your computer into safe mode now. To go into safe mode, go into the Start menu, choose Restart just as you normally would (click Shut Down or Turn Off Computer and then select Restart if you are not sure how to restart and can't find Restart in the menu), then start hitting the F8 key at the top of the keyboard. Just keep hitting F8 over and over every second or so until it brings you to a black screen giving you some choices. Using your arrow keys on the keyboard, choose Safe Mode, then hit Enter twice. Then wait a while and it will eventually bring you into Windows Safe Mode. (If it just restarted normally

I really think its a scam. I had a friend who tried to get a free ipod on one of those things and it never happened. They ask for other people's emails so they are probably trying to get emails to send people junk mail. Or perhaps when you click on those ads, they put spyware on your compter. I think its best to avoid them.

Wow, that's a strange one. You say that every other DVD you own/rent works just fine in your machine, eh? Sounds like some sort of copy protection deal going on. Is this perhaps a new release DVD (probably from Sony Pictures)? If so, there may be a CSS on there that will not allow the disc to play on a PC (supposedly to eliminate piracy, but really just aggravating to those of us that are gravitating towards media centers).\n\nTry a Copy Protection removal tool (I wish I could tell you the name of one. You'll just have to google it yourself) and see if that works. If not, call the manufacturer of the disc.\n\nSorry I couldn't help any more than this but I've never encountered this problem before.....

You want it gone because you're having trouble installing a new video card I presume? If that's the case, then first make sure you have the correct drivers installed for your motherboard. For some reason this service will sometimes pop up when you don't. It actually is a normal windows service, by the way, you don't want to get rid of it totally. If that doesn't work you can try disabling it long enough to install your new card like this: open the start menu, go to "run" and type in services.msc find it on the list, right click on it and and select "properties". Under startup type, select disabled and restart your pc

I had a nightmare time trying to cancel with AOL.  They REFUSED to take NO for an answer.  I was on the phone over 40 minutes with one of their people who took pleasure in not canceling my AOL.  I had to go to my credit card company to stop future payments.  I will NEVER use it again.  I tell anyone who is interested, to STAY AWAY.

What you thought was a codec to watch some video, was actually a ruse. A scam if you will. It was not a codec at all. (The video would have played fine without that "Gold Codec")! What you actually downloaded was a Trojan called "Zlob".\n\nThis trojan then "phoned home" and installed the VirusBurster adware on your computer with out your knowledge.\n\nYour computer has a Smitfraud infection now, which is a very difficult one to remove. Most "all-purpose" anti-virus and anti-spyware programs (such as have been recommended to you) can only remove the original Trojan Zlob which caused the infection and not the infection itself. \n\nThis Smitfraud infection usually requires a specialized removal procedure and removal tools. Here are 2 links for information and free removal software.\nhttp://wiki.castlecops.com/malware_remov...\n\nhttp://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix_En.php\n\nUnfortunately, new variants of this pest seem to be launched every few days, so the removal information that I gave you is always playing "catch-up". If the procedure won't work for you, keep checking back to the sites I gave you. In a few days they may have updated the procedure and / or tools.\n\nAnother free removal tool for you to try. This one is call RogueFix. Tool and full infomation are here:\nhttp://www.internetinspiration.co.uk/roguefix.htm

They traced a signal .. so like your laptop is "bugged"?  Never heard of anything like that EVER.\nMoving on.  Sitting in a backseat of a car was emotionally debilitating to you?  Whoa!  Were you in handcuffs?\nNext.  YOU lost half of a class?  Like 30 minutes worth? Yeah .. that's interesting or nit-picky.  Lost gas & time fom your cell phone?  You mean that you had to drive somewhere to clear yourself?  And you had to talk on your cell phone also?  Nit-picky.\n\nYou are clearly playing the VICTIM.  Send this mega-store a letter to their corporate headquarters outlining your "real" experience.  I wouldn't mention all the nit-picky because they will laugh it off and you will never hear from them.  Also file a complaint with the BBB.  Expect an apology at best.  To waste anytime thinking that you are gonna hit it big with a settlement is ridiculous and immature.\n\nGood luck.\n\nEDIT:  "Actually a lot of "Superstores" install (and I'm not kidding) a software called Lo-Jack, which allows them to track the computer whenever it is on the internet via IP address."\n\nLo-Jack is a subscription/pay service.  Its not free .. so yeah .. anyways!  (rolling eyes)\n\nEDIT:  "responsability"?  A's huh?

Hi,\nMy real name is Tina, and I know how you feel. I too am a victim of 360 share-pro. I hate it too!! I spent $23.76 trying to be couscous of a hoax. Thank god it did not cost me more. Lets get one thing straight..a download is a download. At least we are trying to make it legal by paying for it. With bogus download companies like 360 we have to work with what we paid for. At least we can download stuff legally. I'm going to try to find out where I can get with this bogus company and continue to use it to my benefit. Trying to get your money back is just a waste of time. Especially with no customer service information. Why waste the time and energy? Just go with the flo.... and learn from the experience. By the way, cancel your credit card so they can't charge on it further!!! I DID! \n\nSincerely,\nTina\n\nYou might want to try to call this number I found on my credit card statement.    1-866-488-0790   Hope it helps.

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

It is the movie places problem... they have a policy which THEY clearly violated by allowing unauthorized users to use YOUR account. Too F-ing bad for them, they should have tried training their minimum wage employees. \n\nThere is nothing the cops can do to the ex, if that is what you mean by "illegal". I would recommend talking to the manager of the store, explaining the situation and telling him that you will not be paying these "late fees", that you expect the fees to be removed from your account, and that you expect your account to be handled properly in the future. I free rental or two wouldn't hurt either for the bother this has caused you.
