MediaPipe
Just when you think that companies would learn, along comes MediaPipe and a lawsuit from Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna filed against Digital Enterprises. The Attorney General claims in his lawsuit that Digital Enterprises is using an “aggressive, relentless and threatening” form of online bill collection. The Federal Trade Commission is claiming that most people who complained to them “claim they never signed up for the ‘free trial’ and have never heard of Movieland’s services until the popups started appearing on their machine demanding payment for services.
MediaPipe according to Webroot Spy Sweeper appears to be an adware based program that delivers popup advertisements to a user’s machine. Spy Sweeper does identify this program in their threat definitions file and can remove it from your computer. Users who have MediaPipe on their machine can use Webroot Spy Sweeper to remove it from their computer.
Users who were infected by MediaPipe were so annoyed have actually been paying the $29.95 charge to use the service, or have been paying computer technicians to remove it from their computer. Save you money and put it into Spy Sweeper to protect and remove MediaPipe as well as other forms of adware that exist now or will come in the future.
