You need to install ActiveX, there should be a little yellow bar that pops up below your URL bar, click and install the program and viola it will stop popping up because then you have ActiveX. It's needed to run some games, sites, etc.

You won't be able to close the pop-ups as what you're getting on your screen is a 90 second broadcast created by a program installed on your hard-drive.  I'm guessing it's a message from 'Cate' threatening you with legal action and to impair your credit rating, the pop-up can't be closed, minimized or anything and it's playing awful porno style music.\n\nIf you're *positive* that you didn't agree to install Moviepass then they can't make you pay - that's the law, simple as that.\n\nYou won't be able to delete it using Add / Remove programs or by highlighting the file or folder and deleting it - this will either take you to their website or tell you the program can't be deleted.  To get round this you need to use Task manager to shut down the programs before deleting them or you need to start your computer in Safe Mode.\n\nIn the last feew days Norton Anti Virus has added Moviepass to thei list of known problems, if you have Norton then get the latst updates and run a full system scan.  Panda Internet Security and PC Tools Spyware Doctor are the other 2 programs that will automatically remove Moviepass.\n\nIf you go to this website: http://profend.com/answers/moviepass there's more info about Moviepass and how to automatically or manually remove it.  If you go to the FAQ page there's info about Moviepass the company and the position in respect of them making charges.\n\nFollow the instructions on this site to permenantly get rid of all traces of Moviepass.

INTRODUCTION\n============\n\nI've been reading several posts about this and it seems to be something that's annoying the hell out of a lot of people.\n\nThe general opinion is that it's very hard to get rid of and that it's something that adware removers, pop-up blockers, spyware removers, Hijack This etc seem to have no effect on.\n\nMoviepass and Movieland install various files on your computer when you download it, you then get asked for payment.  From what I can gather there's a free 3 day trial after which the charge is $99.\n\nThe following is an extract from the terms and conditions of Moviepass.\n\n"If you do not either cancel or provide payment information during the trial period our billing software will be enabled upon the expiration of your trial period.  The billing software will run on your computer, displaying pop-up window reminders that provide you with the various methods of payment for the annual license.  These pop-up windows will appear more frequently until you choose one of the payment options and pay for the license."\n\nNow, as far as I'm aware Moviepass and Movieland are one and the same thing and can be deleted in the same way - it's a bit long winded but here goes...\n\n\nWARNING\n========\n\nI HAVEN'T TRIED THESE INSTRUCTIONS MYSELF SO I CAN'T GUARANTEE THEIR ACCURACY.  YOU MAY WANT TO MAKE BACK UP COPIES OF FILES AND PROGRAMS BEFORE THEY'RE DELETED.\n\n\nUSEFUL TIPS\n===========\n\nYou might want to read all the instructions first before starting the removal procedure.\n\nYou may find it's easier to print out these instructions, I've uploaded them as a Microsoft Word document here... http://profend.com/answers/moviepass.doc as a text document here... http://profend.com/answers/moviepass.txt and as a normal webpage here... http://profend.com/answers/moviepass.html \n\n\nREMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS\n======================\n\n1 - Click on <Start> (bottom left of screen)\n\n2 - Click on <Control Panel>\n\n3 - Click on <Add or Remove Programs>\n\nA long list of the programs that are installed on your computer should appear, it may take a little while to 'populate' the list.\n\n4 - Look for something called "P2PNetworks"\n\n5 - Click on it so that it's highlighted\n\n6 - Click on <Change/Remove> (or similar)\n\n7 - Confirm you want to uninstall\n\n8 - The program will uninstall, it only takes a moment.\n\n9 - When done click <Close>.  P2PNewtorks should no longer be on the list of programs on your computer.\n\n10 - There may be other programs that you need to uninstall.  Look for any of the following... Media Pipe, AltPayments, Download Manager, MyAccessMedia.  If you see any of them then repeat the steps above to remove them.\n\n11 - Don't close down Add or Remove Programs just yet as you'll need to come back to it later.\n\nThat's the end of this part.  Next there's some files that need to be deleted.\n\n12 - Open My Computer (Windows Explorer).\n\n13 - Double click the icon for <Local Disk (C:)>.  If the main drive on your computer has any letter other than C then click the appropriate icon, e.g. <Local Disk (D:)>\n\n14 - Double click on <Program Files>.  If there's a message saying "These files are hidden" then click where it says "Show the contents of this folder"\n\n15 - Look for any or all of the following and delete them (single click, press the <Delete> button then click <Yes> to confirm deletion).  The names may not be exactly as shown below as there may be spaces or differnt upper and lowercase characters (e.g. AltPayments could be altpayments or Alt Payments etc)\n\n   ...AltPayments\n   ...AltPayV2\n   ...Download Manager\n   ...FSupport\n   ...Media Pipe\n   ...My Access Media\n   ...P2PNetworks\n\n16 - Look for anything with Notify, Notifier, Notification, Movieland or Moviepass in the name and delete it.
