My neighbors (older couple)have moviepass trial that expired and it wants them pay or else! It's a popup that they can't close w/o going through a hassle each time they use the Internet. I see a notifier process running. The neighbors say they never even tried the trial but who knows?

I did a google on it and most people say they have to call the company and hope they cancel their account for free then you remove the components.

One link on the subject: http://forums.techguy.org/security/459884-removing-moviepass.html

Acidwarp or anyone run into this and know the best way to kill it?

I haven't run across it, but I can help you work around the Sony BMG MediaMax DRM Virus.


Basically I guess just blast the machine with any/every legit antispyware ap.

Spybot S&D
Ad-Aware
Spysweeper (you can get a 15 day trial)
Ewido
Take a look with Hijack This!

You can also look to see if it's a rootkit with Rootkit Revealer, don't know about removing it though.

bunch of good apps there, process explorer gives you much more detailed information than taskmon. Autoruns is also VERY userful.

Yeah, I just had to remove this from a friend's computer yesterday. It spreads itself all over the registry under different names. When you go to uninstall it, it drops an item to RUN at startup in the registry and just brings you to a webpage.

I believe the program was called license_manager.exe or something to that effect found in C:\Program Files\License Manager. I really don't remember the exact names, but I had to pull everything out manually because ewido actually failed to remove it (first time ever).
