they keep sending me messages saying I am obligated to them. I have not received their free trial as they claim and have no desire to to business with them. \n     Their pop ups are not removable and are definitely interfering with my internet access.\n     How can I stop these leaches?

My son got the same thing.  I ended up going into the Registry Editor and removing all of the entries manually.  Just go to Start > Run > type regedit, then do a Find and type in Movie Pass.  When it finds an entry, delete it and then hit Find Next until there are no more entries.  Spybot and Adaware won't remove it.

Hey its a spam. I suggest to use the software mention below.\n\n\nhttp://www.sunbelt-software.com/CounterSpy-Download.cfm\n\nOr Download Windows Defender Beta 2 from this web site\n\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Popup-Ad-Spyware-Blockers/Windows-AntiSpyware.shtml

You could have Adware or Spyware.  You might want to try to download Spybot and Adaware.  Both programs are free.  They ask for a donation, but it's not required for use.

Evidence Eliminator has caused some controversy due to their misleading advertising that claims the user is under investigation and that the application will save one from prosecution as well as what could be construed as paranoid ranting on their dis-information page. Their affiliate programme is also controversial, which many claim is responsible for large amounts of spam, particularly on Usenet.\n\nRemoval instructions - http://www.radsoft.net/news/20040114,00.html

HI friend,\n     I have always come across those popups that popup unwantedly when you visit some unknown or sometimes even well known websites.\n     If you are using a Windows XP Operating System, then try to install Service Pack 2, which can easily solve the problem.\n     If you dont have WIN XP Operating System or even face problems after installing WIN XP SP2, then its good to have a search engine toolbar, I am talking about the best toolbar to use, the Google Toolbar, can easily solve the problem as it has many inbuilt features including popup blocker.\n     And my last preference for blocking popup is a third party Hitware Popup Killer software tool, which can easily block popups, I think its a freeware.\n\n     Thats it, have a good time\n          warm regards,\n            K.A.G.S.

try spybot and adaware to fix problems. If they can not remove them try rougescanfix which is pretty good at removing this type of adware.

You got some sort of malware.  DL Spybot and Ad-aware.  Run them a few times.  SpySweeper would also help gt rid of stuff.\n\nBe careful on sites esp that comes form official type emails.  Go directly to the site and not click thrus.  You have to think and be careful about using the net.  Its the same as giving out your personal info to a caller from any bank or cedit card company.  Call the company directly yourself.  Its the same thing with the net.\n\nSo back to your problem get some malware software and run them each a few times.  Update and run them regularly too.

It's obvious. YOU HAVE SPYWARE!! Try ad-aware SE (www.lavasoft.com) or spybot (google for it). It will probably find loads if it loads pop-ups. Pop-up blockers will not work as it's pulling them up while your not even on the internet. My advice though is to STOP USING INTERNET EXPLORER. USE MOZILLA FIREFOX!!

I get them also. Don't respond to them (even in anger) and after a while it slows down. I have a spam filter with Nortons Internet Security and it diverts them into a spam folder.\nYour email client should be able to filter out emails using key words such as 'Nigeria' etc. Check out the options.\nCheers

My first guess would be that your browser is infected. This is due to the fact that you are probably one of the millions of users who insist upon either downloading free music, I.E. bearshare, limewire, etc... or you frequently visit porn sites, online gaming sites, gambling sites, etc. All this crap is full of spyware! When your browser becomes infected with what are called browser helpers, your every move on the internet is monitored by search robots that direct you to where they want you to go. The sites they take you to make money every time you purchase something. You have apparently done at least one search for wristwatches and now you will be plagued with wrist watch spam sam! Time to clean your system! After you clean it heed my warning! If you insist on this so called free crap you will NEVER be rid of this problem! MM18 also has good advice. When I need to give an email addy to a site I give them a secondary email addy. I use yahoo mail for this. You aint got to worry about spam if you dont use the account.

If you know how to send them a worm the do it.\nLet me know how to do it, without messing uo my computer, because I'm getting 100 spam e-mails per day, and I'm relly sick of it.

Everyone gets these.\nThere's really no way to stop them besides get a spam blocker.\n\nI once read a story about this guy who replied to one and harrassed the poor scammer.. you should read it someday.

PRobably to fool spam filters. Why are you opening it anyways? you could get a virus and just open the door for more spam when you click on them.

First of all the ISP (internet service provider) should be notices.  If you are connected to AOL, try abuse@aol.com (or call your helpdesk).

Try getting a good antivirus with pop-up blocking.  I recommend Norton Internet Security with Anti Virus.

Your cell phone company CAN make it stop.  I had the same problem.  Usually, if you threaten to go with another carrier, they'll fix it for you.  I was getting bombarded by someone else's Yahoo mail.
