Roy of Pt Huron, MI December 4, 2006


About two months ago I stated getting moveland pop-ups. A girl pops up on my screen advertising about movieland and then I try to get out of the popup only ending up in popcorn advertisement. I have tried to delete the program only to find it on my screen the next day. I finally placed the Nortan antivirus onto my computer. The program takes care of the situation but Movieland is still tring to get through. I will continue to try and get rid of the program. According to Norton this is not a virus but a program which you manually have to delete. You take a risk going into your progam and take a chance on removing the wrong data. I am not interested in Moveland program. I still to this day can not figure out how it got onto my computer.

I ran Norton AntiVirus full scan and it reported that movieland was in my computer and was a serious risk.  Some time ago I was also invaded by stopzilla and still have not been able to get rid of it.  I have no idea how stopzilla got into my computer.

I have tried everything to get rid of these two pesky things and nothing seems to work.

Thomas of Chicago, IL September 16, 2006


I never used the service from Movieland.   True I did download the program, but I never used it. 

The 3 day trial expired while I was in the hospital so Movieland planted spyware on my computer. I got rid of the threatening pop-up, but my Norton anti-virus is saying movieland spyware is still on my computer! Keep in mind, I NEVER downloaded or viewed any movies from Movieland.  This was months ago. When I went to Movieland's website to uninstall and cancel the subscription, they placed another spyware onto my computer!! 

I had 3 spywares from them loaded on my computer. As soon as you go to movieland website, they place spyware onto your computer even if you don't install anything. My anti-spyware shows media pipe is being removed, but it doesnt actually remove all aspects of this spyware. Movielands website even states we are the only ones who can remove the spyware.

I tried to down Movieland - no result.  Now Movieland is sending payment notice for service I did not receive and there is no way to get rid of this pop up.

 

Nancy of Gadsden, AL May 17, 2006


The Movieland popup comes from http://images.movieland.com/images/notifier_nrun.gif but users infected are not authorized access.

While it is running if you click on Ctrl-Alt-Delete you find a file named notifier_nrun and another named notifier_060316. If these files are deleted it goes away but somehow it reappears later.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge can find a way to get rid of it.

MovieLand - Read all your complaints!

Mine is similar - I never contacted them.  I went away for the holidays last Christmas and when I returned I started getting the same annoying message.

I refuse to pay them.

 

Randy of Weston, WV April 28, 2006


Movieland put popups on my computer and I paid to have it removed.  Now they are illegally taking funds from my checking account.  Help!

 

Andre of Jamaica, NY April 22, 2006


I don't understand how a "Free trial" can turn into payments. On the same day I had the Freetrial I removed the program from my computer.  Now there is a constant pop-up that comes on everytime I turn my computer on, saying I must pay for this thing.

Nicole of Baltimore, MD April 5, 2006


I am receiving pop-up video from movieland.com that tell me I'm 'legally obligated to pay, now that your free trial is up' and I never ordered anything from the Website. what can i do?

 

Suzanne of San Jose, CA April 1, 2006


Movieland is sending me online payment demands for a service that I did not sign up for. There is no resource to get the problem resolved via their customer support site and this is extreme abuse of the internet via spyware and fraudulent service activity. The following is copied from Movieland supports page for submitting a customer support problem, however process will not complete unless you click free instant cancel that takes 4 minutes and I am afraid will install more spyware on my computer:
