    Thank you for posting your HJT log.  There are many strains of the Movie Pass spyware infection around the web, so rather than picking apart your file line by line, I am going to direct you to a free universal removal tutorial at http://www.schrockinnovations.com/removemoviepass.php. 
     
    It is 100% free and up to date with the most recent Movie Pass information.  Whatever you do, make sure you cancel your Movie Pass account before you remove their software from your computer.  To do this you must call them and give them a number from the software while it is still installed.
     
    Good luck!

    hi,
    i have followed hc4 suggestion to remove moviepass.tv by manual process thru symantec circular using registry editor.
    i have successfully deleted all mentioned registry entries except the following 3 subkeys:
    1.)HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
        "Notification Utility" = "%ProgramFiles%\Notify\notify.exe /silent
    2.)HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\notify
    3.)HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\notify
     
    the registry of my computer does not contain the above 3  items. is there any other version/strain/mutation for the above 3 items that i have to further remove?
     
    On my windows task/process manager- a "license manager.exe" is still working-is this exe file related to Movipass.tv?

    Okay so here's the deal:
     
    moviepass.tv software/whatever somehow made it's way onto my computer. Apparantly, a 3-day trial was agreed to without my consent. Of course, however, I never knew about this agreement until it was after the 3-day agreement, thus too late to cancel. I got this annoying popup for sometime about being legally obligated to pay a $99.00 annual subscription or a $29 monthly subscription. I went onto the moviepass.tv website and looked at what they call "customer support". There, I was told that I was responsible for the moviepass.tv software that was installed; even if it wasn't me that did it. Seeing as I know that I'm the only one that uses this computer, I find it impossible for anyone else to have installed this scandalous software. I know that I didn't install this software either. "Moviepass.tv customer service page" insures me that I MUST HAVE installed this software willingly due to their "four-step installation" process. I know I NEVER agreed for this installation.
     
    I know for a fact that the "four-step installation" process NEVER popped up on my screen. When I look to see when my account was apparantly installed, it says around 3:00 on Wednesday afternoon. I don't get out of school until 3:25; let alone home until 4:00ish, so I find it impossible for me to have installed this software.
     
    Now the threatening part about all of this is that I am being forced to pay for this software. I haven't yet, but "customer service" says that if I fail to pay this obligated fee, I will be charged and have bad marks on my credit.
     
    So really, I have some questions about all of this:
    1. Do I have to pay for this software that unwillingly made it's way onto my computer?
    2. How are the people at moviepass.tv supposed to find me and report me to collection agencies when:
     
    a. I never gave the company any personal information (SS#, credit card#, home address, phone number, etc.) except the software collected my computer IP.
    AND
    b. I don't even have a freaking credit card yet!!!
     
    3. Should I take this threat seriously, or is it just some kind of scandel?
     
    This thing is stressing me out like you wouldn't believe. I need help guys.... FAST. Please help me.

    Mike
     
    the simplest/safest thing for you to do is get your (alleged) account  [or customer ID] number [which should be displayed in their popup ad], then phone them, and formally "cancel" with them.    if you do so, give them the account number only... do NOT let them talk you into revealing any more information to them.
     
    you wrote "I don't even have a freaking credit card yet!!!"... does that mean you're a "minor"?  if so, that may be another reason why the alleged contract should not be binding on you.
     
    good luck

    Thank you so much!!! I just called, and the customer representive cancelled the account for me. But now that it's cancelled, I am no longer obligated to pay the fee to moviepass.tv, correct?
     
    Whenever I go to the site again (just to check to see if my account really was cancelled), it appears that my account is still active because it has the same customer ID# and everything.
     
    And is there anymore software that I need to uninstall?

    first off, i hope you've "documented" the conversation.... today's date, and any information you got from them.... for example, did you get the name (or representative-number) of the person you spoke with, who accepted/authorized the cancellation?  did they give you any acknowledgement/confirmation number for the cancellation?   whatever information you have, be sure to save it... for a long while.... just in case.
     
    i am hoping that all you had to give them was your account (customer id) number, and nothing more...
     
    once cancelled, you certainly wont have to pay for any   future  "usage".... but i cannot legally answer the question as to whether or not they can still try to come after you for any alleged use  prior  to the cancellation.... did they indicate any "balance due" on your account?
     
    i'd be very careful going back to their site again.... as they may construe this action as an indication that you intentionally want to get their software re-installed... and if that happens, you won't be able to claim it was done "accidentally", since you DID go there this time.
     
    as for removing the software, i would suggest you start a new thread of your own here in the HiJackThis forum.   include your HJT log (assuming you know how to generate one... if not, there's lots of help available here).   mention that you've already cancelled your account, as that's one of the first things they should advise you to do so.

    Don't worry, I did not give them anything but my customer ID. I also kept "documents of questions I asked and got answered. I also have the representative's name :smileytongue:. What is all of this going to be used for though?
