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 (09/16/06)
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 (05/17/06)
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 (04/28/06)
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 Wilson of Jamaica NY (04/22/06)
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 (04/05/06)
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 (04/01/06)
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:
Lee of Chatsworth, CA (03/21/06)
Movieland software was loaded to my computer from an unknown source. The software contains a pop up screen demanding payment. The pop up jumps in periodically and prohibits me from working until it completes it's unwanted message.
I followed all the company's instructions on removal of the software as soon as I found it on my computer. I managed to find and delete most of it, however I have not been successful in removing their annoying pop up screen. I cannot find a way to contact them without paying them for an unwanted service.
James of Gadsden AL (03/11/06)
Some way Movieland was installed on my computer. I do not give out my credit card number over the internet. I do have a paypal account to use with e-bay. It is a problem for me but I will work on removing it. I have a router and run Norton Systemworks in addition to my microsoft detection software. They put it on without my credit card number. My daughter is the configuration manager for a major firm. Shr will try to remove it this weekend.
Geraldine of Tucson AZ (03/10/06)
Movieland has loaded unbeknownst to me, onto my computer, and they threatening me. I have never downloaded this service and do not want it. I refuse to pay them anything or give them a credit card. These people need to be reported to the Arizona State Attorney General's office. It is a disgrace and I will not be intimidated.
Shirley of Allentown PA (03/08/06)
I am also a victim of this movieland pop up scam. We never signed up for any movieland and they now keep sending a pop up to my computer -- no system restore or anti-virus program can get rid of it. Something must be done about this company.
Jerome of Waldwick NJ (03/06/06)
Movieland has illegally put their promotion which you already know about on my computer. It is difficult to remove it without the danger of destroying regestry. How can we get a class action and put them out of business?
Roberta of Goldsboro NC (03/01/06)
I really do not know what has happened! Movieland is appearing on my screen and claims that I downloaded software and that my 3 day trial is expired and that I need to pay...does not let you out of it! Says it was downloaded on 2-25-06 and that I am legally binded to pay them! I do not have the software! I do not know what they are talking about!
S of Muskego WI (03/01/06)
I am getting pop-ups on my computer screen from a service which I did not subscribe to. The service claims I did and demands payment or else the pop-ups will continue and they will attack my credit rating. MovieLand claims their service was subscribed to on Feb. 14th, 2006 at 10:04:26, a time when nobody is home. I want the pop-ups to stop and I will not pay them even though they threaten me.
I cannot seem to stop them with any program I've tried. I am not computer literate enough to handle complicated downloads and I don't want to pay for a download which may or may not work. Then I'd be paying for their service after all, just somewhere else.
Carol of Oak Hill WV (02/26/06)
I let someone use my computer and now I keep getting popus to pay for Porno.
I am sixty years old and I am constanly doing work on my computer. I work for the Red Cross and this is very annoying when I am trying to work.
I did not download this program. I am very annoyed that I cannot talk with anyone. I tried to send a email. My next step is to write to my Attorney General.
Labon of Douglasville GA (02/26/06)
We keep getting annoying pop-ups from Movieland saying that our 3-day trial has ended and we owe money for downloading this service.
Nobody has downloaded anything from these people and we don't want this service. When we try to resolve this problem and get this off of our computer we find that there is no customer service person to speak with, no address or anything else telling us how to get in contact with someone.
There is just a link telling us to give our credit card number to pay them or it will reflect badly on our credit report. If they are being sneaky and installing this on my computer and I can't get rid of it then what would they do with my credit card number? I'm not paying them anything. I don't want this service.
Eugene of Glenburnie MD (02/26/06)
I recieved a pop-up said I had an account with them and I was responsible for payment. I`ve never even watch any movies.
Jason of Camden NJ (02/25/06)
One night I was bombarded from popup ads on my computer. They slowed my machine down to a standstill, and in my haste to get rid of them, I must have clicked on somthing for Movieland. I do not remeber being asked to signup for anything or agree to anything. A few days later this popup shows up on my computer saying that the Movieland Trial Period was over and was told to press the continue button to sign up. There was no way to exit out of this but to push the remind me later button, only to start it all over again. I have looked through just about every file in my system and I cannot find it anywhere. I went to the Movieland website to complain about this to them and it tells me that I am responsible for signing up. It now says I have to pay for the service and if I dont they will go to collection agencies to collect. I don't know what to do about this, and how to get rid of the file.
Simon of London OTHER (02/24/06)
An unauthorized user (that is also under age) accidently subscribed to the Movieland service that we as a company do not wish to have on our pc's.
Jerry of Painesville OH (02/23/06)
I began getting a popup demanding payment for this "service" called movieland. I don't even know what this is. It was never requested by me or anyone else in my household. The popup disables everything until it is done and demands payment. No customer support, no phone number absolutely no way to contact these thieves. I work from home on my computer and I will file a lawsuit against them unless they cease and desist with this electronic intimidation.
Rae of Las Vegas NV (02/23/06)
I started to get a pop-up from Movieland saying my 3 day free trial was over and that I needed to pay them. I never even heard of them nor did I download anything from them. There was no way to get rid of the annoying pop-up which ocurred constantly. There was no way to close it or to contact anyone.
Shelia of Bowling Green, KY (02/21/06)
I began getting a pop up on my computer saying I owe Movieland money. I don't even know what product or program they are trying to make me pay for. Noone in my household has requested their services and I am not going to pay them.
I am unable to use my computer because this pop up can't be closed and they offer no way to get rid of it with out agreeing to pay them. I am unable to get a phone number or address for them as well.
Carol of Fallston NC (02/20/06)
I came home to find the Movieland pop-up requesting payment for a service I do not and have never had on my computer.
Everytime I get on line to do work or research this pop-up comes up and slows down my computer. My privacy has been invaded by some trashy company trying to make a quick buck. This had to have sent to my computer since I did not download it and do not want the service.
I have tried to find a contact number but cannot get past the payment page. I also tried in vain to remove it from my computer.
George of Miami FL (02/20/06)
I keep getting Movieland pop ups and cannont make them stop. I have never subscribed but they insist I did.
I think they should be investigated for their spam advertisments.
Sharon of Layton UT (02/18/06)
Movieland software downloaded on our home computer. We did not download it, regardless of what the site indicates and we cannot get rid of it.
Every 10 minutes a popup comes on and says we are in violation and they want our money.
Somebody has to do something about this. This seems to be a violation of our time and our computer.
Stephen of Seattle WA (02/18/06)
A member of my household accidentally logged on to Movieland without realizing that after the 3 day trial, a legal obligation to subscribe would be automatic.
The company is threatening me with a collection agency and black marks on my credit record.
Jay of Termo CA (02/18/06)
Annoying pop-ups for something never ordered.
Due to these pop-ups I've lost email contact with my Mom's doctors more than once and with the VA while scheduling appointments for myself. I have trouble connecting with the net anyway because of the remoteness of my location, and now movieland is screwing that up.
Marianne of Va. Beach, VA (02/17/06)
Movieland ads keep popping up on my computer. I never ordered anything from them. They say I am being charged now since I didn't cancel. I don't know what I'm supposed to be cancelling!
Any ideas how to get rid of them? This is not right.
Peter of Elizabeth NJ (02/15/06)
Movieland's software sort-of hitched a ride when I was looking at other things besides movies and now are a part of my computer. This thing hide a day or two and now 6 or 7 xrated pop-ups appear when any other software comes up by my will or at random.
It's embarrising to have these pop-ups. To carry out business in this fasion is crimminal and should be dealt with that way, the internet is getting worse and worse! What to do????
Alesia of Berea KY (02/15/06)
I'm getting a pop up, on my business computer, that won't go away . Pop up claims we went through a four step process of downloading their product, and that we must pay $99 for the popups to stop.
I don't even recognize their website and never download any such thing.
Aaron Morgan of Plainview TX (02/15/06)
Spyware was added to my computer maliciously and was extremely difficult to remove. This spyware was very deep into my system and took several different programs to remove it. Tried to get me to enter credit card number in order to steal that number. Tried to blame me for downloading saying that it had my ip address and I owed them money since the 3 day "trial" was up. It said that simply removing the "software" would not end my obligation to pay them money. Very malicious spyware, the worst I have ever encountered.
Matthew of Virginia Beach VA (02/14/06)
I never downloaded the movieland service and started to receive payment reminders, on 2/11/06, because apparently there was a three-day free trial never knew anything about it.
John of Charlotte, NC (1/27/06)
Unsolicited Adware/Spyware downloaded to my computer with continuous pop-ups demanding payment for service. It infiltrated my home PC making it virtually impossible to use which negatively impacting my ability to service my west coast clients.
This company/site does not give any viable opt out option and offers no contact information to dispute their charges or to remove them from your PC.
Damages: I reside on the east coast and have clients throughout the country. Due to time zone differences it is necessary to service some clients from my home PC. Since their infiltration on my PC I am saturated with their pop-ups to the point that I'm limited in my ability to service my clients.
Thomas of Ramsey, NJ (1/26/06)
Movieland.com has placed a popup spyware link to my computer and is demanding that I pay them $99 for a product that I have no intention of using. I have no way of removing this popup without paying them.
Christine of Saint Louis (1/25/06)
I never signed up for anything at Moveiland.com and their pop up ads are blocking my computer. My 8 year old can't do his homework because as soon as we get the ads to go away, they reappear.
I have emailed Movieland two times asking for a phone number but they have not responded. At one point I received a message stating that the ads would stop and that I had successfully cancelled, but they started up again.
Damages: I cannot do anything on my new computer because the pop-up ads are taking over. Movieland will not respond to my emails or try to resolve this matter.
George of Charlotte, NC (1/24/06)
The Movieland pop-up windows repeatedly admonish the user that they are violating the terms of their service agreement, and advise that they need to pay money in order to stop the pop-ups, with a link for the consumer's credit card information. The video overrides all other functions until it is finished. The reminder keeps coming back every day.
I have never asked for or used any of Movieland's stuff (whatever it is) nor have I downloaded any of their products, but I still get their intrusive pop-up. I thought that I had safe guards installed on my CPU to prevent invasion like this, but they are very smart and got around it all.
All that I know about them besides the above is that the worn out blonde that insists "she hear from you" is very obnoxious and is probably much younger that she looks.
Damages: The pop-ups are very intrusive, invasive and mentally distracting.
Lindsay of Parrish, FL (1/24/06)
Somehow this got into our computer system with an exact date and time when someone unknowingly downloaded a popup screen. I have no idea how this happened.
They have a box you can check if you want these pop-ups to stop, however when you click on it the message says the only way to remove the pop-ups is to pay them money! The pop-ups get more aggressive in 10-minute intervals.
This is a bogus company and if I could figure out how to talk to someone I would express my interest in suing them. I don't know how to get these pop-ups to stop without paying them money, which I refuse to do.
Damages: Inhibiting work on my computer. Every ten minutes a popup comes up, takes 5 minutes to load and the only option you have is to pay or remind me later. I am physically and mentally exhausted with trying to figure this out!!!!!
Rosalind of Chicago, IL (1/22/06)
A Movieland pop-up appeared on my computer earlier this month. I did not order anything from them and never signed up for anything they offer. I don't see a contact number or email address to ask them how this happened or to let them know that I am not interested in anything they have to offer.
They offer me no way of contacting them except to pay them $29.95 for something that I did not order and don't know how to access.
B of Modesto, CA (11/11/06)
MovieLand offers a software application known as MediaPipe via their Website for a "free 3-day trial". I never used the software during those 3 days.
They have an irritating, unprofessional and intimidating collection process complete with video pop-ups saying you need to pay for your service to stop the pop-ups. They also install, during the free, no-obligation test period, "cookies" that prevent you from terminating your service without "their electronic CS approval".
There is no phone number to call, no address, no support per se, just irritating pop-ups every 10 minutes of a video woman telling you that you've breached their contract and that owe them money.
After a month of these pop-ups, I finally had had enough and followed the process to eradicate the pop-ups from my system. I had to write a letter to get off their system. I don't know for sure if that has happened. I'm absolutely livid with their tactics.
Michael of Wheeling, WV (10/23/05)
I am receiving pop-up video from movieland.com ("powered by mediapipe") that tells me I'm: "legally obligated to pay, now that your free trial is up" and I NEVER ORDERED ANYTHING FROM THE WEBSITE!!! This video overrides all other functions on my computer until it is finished and the reminder keeps coming back every day.
