Obviously, they redirect Firefox traffic because they can't exploit it. And because it can't be exploited, the traffic is effectively worthless to them.

I have yet to see anybody say "this is a good idea" yet except the sponsors using it as exits. Hehe. Guba anyone? Actually, I think Guba fared better, some people even thought it was a great idea!

Well, apparently, holding the (albeit anonymous) user's machine for ransom by routinely harrassing them on startup and not providing a simple standard means of removing the software is one way to coerce users into payment.

There seems to be a mountain of diverse sources suggesting this is a very common scenario.

Is this true??

Everyone is running to jump on the bandwagon. When they dont even know what it is we do.

Remove by:

add/remove
calling CS
going to our CS link

Cant make it any easier than that.

Rather than assuming anything I ASKED YOU.

Are you involved with/related to Movie.tv?

That's a typo on my part. I meant to ask if you are related to MoviePass.tv and I see from your website that you ARE MoviePass.tv

Regardless of your claims (and those of your supporters) of the ease of removal, there seem be many complaints against your 'product' and an overwhelming hostility by users (who feel more like victims) of your product.

Even if your product is 'easy' to remove you have some work to do with customer/market perceptions. They may be ignorant surfers, but a few quick search engine queries yield a far more negative consumer attitudes towards you than positive.

Why is that?

If I understand correctly, you keep emphasizing that you make money for your affiliates.

Is that all you are about as an enterprise, or are you working on the bad rep you seem to have outside of GFY?

Look, the scammers are back. First it was trialbucks.com with their Movie Networks site and MediaPipe Download Manager (it only cost $81 but the surfer never knew until it showed up on their credit card statement) and now they come back a year later with this shit.

This is classic

EpicJim is losing sleep because, if you are to be believed, you are making it easy to cancel.

That is the kind of stand up guys they are over there.

You guys deserve each other.

By clicking on this advertisement and installing the FileGrabber software I affirm that I am at least 18 years of age and wish to participate in the MoviePass 3-Day FREE trial. I understand that if I do not cancel within the trial period that I will be legally obligated to purchase a license for the FileGrabber software for US$99.00. I understand that if I do not cancel or pay within the trial period, I will receive electronic payment reminders until such time that I satisfy my financial obligation. I understand that uninstalling the FileGrabber software will NOT cancel this offer and that the only way to cancel my trial is via the Customer Service link on the MoviePass website

I remember trialbucks, could have been better if they had higher payouts considering what they were charging the surfer.

You are on top of a heap all right but in this case it is a steaming pile and it stinks. But if you are happy there then so be it.

This program won't last long. It's already being blocked by symantec/norton.

http://securityresponse.symantec.com...n.muvipaz.html

Quote:
Also Known As: Trojan.Horse

Type: Trojan Horse
Infection Length: 554,408 bytes

Contacts the following Web sites:


notifier.altbill.com
www.movieland.com
www.moviepass.tv
ads.vitalix.net


May download and install remote files.


After a certain period, the Trojan displays popup advertisements frequently, asking users to pay a subscription fee for a media downloading service.
Good luck on the people promoting it, I am sure your visitors will be very happy if you send them to this.

What I mean is it's effectively useless for exploitation purposes. If this was a useful piece of software, they could offer a downloadable .exe install for Firefox users. But since their software is useless unless the surfer is using the ever-exploitable IE, they redirect all FF users *and* don't pay for it.
