In my surfing, I somehow signed up for a “moviepass” free trial. Now everytime I go on-line a huge reminder fills my monitor screen and plays horrible ‘1970’s porn-movie music’ over my media player. It is extortion plain and simple! I have Norton but it cant seem to block these jerks. PLEASE,PLEASE HELP!!

    Moviepass is a major problem for a lot of people. I’ve put together a website with lots of info about Moviepass and detailed instructions for it’s removal. You should find answers to all your questions on the site. http://profend.com/answers/moviepass

    Uninstall and then do a system restore to before this happened (hopefully very recent).

    Try these:
    First go to C:windowssystem32driversetc and open the hosts file with Notepad.
    If there are any entries other than “127.0.0.1 localhost”, place a # in front of them. These are instructions to your browser to redirect a requested page to another web site. For instance, the IP address of your home page might be pointed to go to the MoviePass web site, and therefore every time you request your home page, you are misdirected. This is just one possibility.
    Next, make sure MoviePass has not installed a background service that starts up when you boot up. You can download my free registry/start up cleaner (PC Windex 1.5) at http://www.pcwindex.com/PCWindexSetup.ex… This will allow you to remove entries in both your registry and your file system that cause programs to load at Windows Start Up. Feel free to remove all of the start up items found and then reboot your system. If by chance you need one or all of those start up items back, use the System Restore function within PC Windex and any changes that were made will be undone.
    If these do not work, please email me at cjmclellen@yahoo.com and I will help you fix this.

    best bet, click start/ find files or folders/ type in moviepass and search on drive c;/
    after they all load.. right click each one and delete…
    OR
    go to control panel, add remove programs and uninstall it..
    sometimes hidden files are lurking in your pc after uninstalling it, delete your cookies and your history of visited websites too…
