Did you install a three day trial of moviepass.tv and now your computer is subject to persistent pop-ups demanding that you sign up for a monthly subscription. What is moviepass?
MoviePass (also known as MediaPipe, MovieLand, PopCorn.net) is a scam. It targets US only while MBS iBill is the same scam that targets UK mainly. Going to their websites to unsubscribe or pay any sort of fees won't help at all.
Unfortuantely, there's no automatic solution capable to remove them or better said, 99% of the existing anti-malware, antispyware and antivirus programs cannot detect Moviepass scam therefore the best removal procedure has to be manually done:
Start your computer in safe mode
Open Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs
Uninstall anything with names starting with or similar to the following:
AltBill
AltPayments
AltPayV2
DownloadManager
FileGrabber
FSupport
ITBills
License Manager
MediaPipe
MoviePass
MovieLand
MPNotifier
MyAccessMedia
MyWaySA
Notify
Notifier
Notification Utility
OptimumOnline
P2PNetworks
Open Windows Explorer
Open the Program Files folder
Delete any subfolders with names related to the items you uninstalled
Click Start, Run, enter msconfig and click OK
Select the Startup tab
Disable any items with command names related to the items you uninstalled by clearing the associated check box
Click OK
Restart the computer.
