I posted this in gen. discussions...but maybe someone here can help me... I would like to remove this program...somehow...
Thanx for any help/suggestions.


Hey all....Somebody in my house must have did a free trial with moviepass.tv Now I get a pop up with no close window avenue except running task manager. It says on the pop up to click continue to purchase the license and stop the annoying pop-up. I havent clicked that that because I don't want to purchase squat...lol Any suggestions for me?


But to continue with my saga...I hit continue on the pop-up.
Then came a page with wanting credit card # etc....so no way....
It had a FAQ section which stated that it was impossible to load this "moviepass.tv software on accident.(a 4-stage download)....yet it gives the time/date and we did not load it...(i do have a 15 and 8 year old so it could be possible) but highly unlikely
as neither one are internet browsers... seems like a scam...if i pay a one-time fee of $29.95 there will be no continuation of billing or pop-ups....who should I contact?? any more ideas?

OK, I've gone ahead and taken the plunge, and went in and picked up my "self install" kit to set up for cable internet. Comcast is having a great introductory price of 19.99 a month for six months. Can't beat that!

The kit gives the option of installing either with ethernet or USB. Is one way better than the other?

I assumed I'd be using my ethernet card. But the way the install directions are written, I almost wonder if its intended for USB instead. (I think it said, "if you prefer ethernet...."). So, I figured I'd ask the Experts first!

Whoami: USE ETHERNET! You'll be glad you did. The USB is a shared port for many different devices where the Ethernet card is dedicated to networking communications. You'll see better performance overall and less 'demand' on your computer this way too.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Dra! I've always just used the ethernet hook up, so I was assuming that would be the "no brainer" way to go. They just threw me for a loop when they worded it as if they had USB capabilities, but if I preferred using the ethernet, then here's how to do it.

Another good thing about using Ethernet is that you can run a very long cable from the modem to the computer if you want to.

Yay, Whoami!! I just finally got cable myself, the same Comcast offer of $19.99 for six months. I ended up installing wireless components, since where the cable came in was nowhere near where the computers were, and I was going to have install some realllly long cables.

Thanks Jim!

Yay Juju! I'm excited to install this. But probably won't have time till after Mom's Day. Everyone is coming over here, I have to scramble around and "find" the living room so people have a place to sit. LOL. Then, when that's all over, I have to "find" the computer. LOL. OK, mostly I just have to sort through the piles of papers and organize the desk area, so I have a place to pull the computer out and find the backside of it to install the stuff.

Have to say the in me kinda hopes Earthlink will ask me why I'll be closing my account with them after something like 8 years or so with them.

And they will try to convince you to keep your account, Whoami, so you can keep your e-mail address. Be prepared.

Thanks for the heads up Juju. I've also heard they are notorious for continuing to take charges out of your credit card long after you've closed your account with them. So I'll have to be on the watch with that as well, although I already plan to let my credit card know they are no longer authorized to the account.

I plan on getting my Comcast account set up, complete with my new e-mail addy. Then I'll send out a mass mailing to everyone in my addy book notifying my change of e-mail address. Then I'll officially close the account.

I'm officially on Comcast now! Yay!

So far, I'm not noticing a huge change in downloading my regularly visited web pages. But downloading images (from Webshots) and files is a huge improvement.

Question. I notice this modem doesn't have a power button (on the DSL modem, I turned it off each day when I shut down the computer). So on the new cable modem, its always on, and blinking (indicating activity) even if I have the computer off. Am I vulnerable if the computer is off? Since I'd assume my firewall and anitivirus aren't running when the computer is off.

What program is streaming it? Once you know that, you can usually find a solution...

Beats me. It just offers you a choice between Windows Media and Real Player. I've been using Windows Media so it defaults to Windows Media Player, but it doesn't say the file type.

Jimmer, you might want to give 'Net Transport' a try - you can find it here with a 90 day trial. I have an older version that doesn't have the 'trial' attached and, when installed on Internet Explorer, it adds a right-click option to "Download all by Net Transport" which basically grabs all linked files, streams, etc. and saves them to your hard drive.

I have a question about burning a DVD. I am trying to burn an AVI file that I downloaded from a torrent from my PC to a DVD. My friend missed Hell's Kitchen and I have it on my BitComet program but cannot transfer it to a DVD. Thought I had the wrong format DVD, but I have tried them all. I then read that you cannot burn a torrent to DVD without special software. Is that true? And what software would I use?

I thought it was possible because I once used Naja's download that she posted of a Lost episode AVI file to transfer to DVD and it worked fine. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

There is no reason that I know of why you could not burn an AVI file to a DVD.

Is the AVI visible on your hard drive using file explorer?

If you mean when I do a search from "start" and look for Hell's Kitchen does it show up...then yes. I did save it from my BitComet to "My Documents". But I keep getting an error message telling me to use another type of DVD. Tried them all. Does the fact that it is a torrent have anything to do with it?
