This is a tutorial that will explain what MoviePass is (also known as MovieLand and MediaPipe), how you got it on your computer, and what you need to do IMMEDIATELY to remove MoviePass completely from your PC and cancel the account that has been opened for you with MoviePass for their Media Pipe software. This is a multi-page tutorial, so be certain to follow the links below and follow all directions precisely.

MoviePass is described by its maker as an "Internet-based multi channel entertainment browser." You may have intentionally or unintentionally installed the MoviePass / Media Pipe software on your computer by clicking an advertisement on a web page. The MoviePass software grants you a free trial period during which you can use the MoviePass services. Once the Movie Pass / Media Pipe software trial expires, you are required to cancel your MoviePass / Media Pipe account to avoid being billed for their service. You will see continual pop-up warnings that increase in frequency informing you that your MoviePass / Media Pipe trial is expired. If you see these popups, you already have a Movie Pass / Media Pipe account, and you MUST cancel it if you wish to discontinue service. MoviePass / Media Pipe also transmits a list of all installed programs on your computer back to the MoviePass / Media Pipe organization. They claim that this helps them overcome any software "conflicts," but it has earned them a designation of Spyware from Schrock Innovations.
When you click on the link, you will be directed to a page that attempts to detect the MoviePass and MediaPipe software on your computer. If it is detected, then you will be admitted into the MoviePass cancellation area. If the software has already been partially removed from your computer you may be prompted to reinstall MoviePass and/or MediaPipe on your PC. DO NOT REINSTALL MoviePass!! If the link takes you to a removal page, do not, under any circumstances, provide any additional information about yourself such as your phone number, name, address, social security number, credit card number or bank account number.
Canceling your MoviePass account is an important step. Even if you do not think you set up a MoviePass / MediaPipe account, one was set up when the software was installed on your computer and you need to cancel it before you remove MoviePass If you do not cancel your account before you remove MoviePass / MediaPipe, you will be billed for an entire year of service (the price varies, but could be as much as $359.88 USD).
Further, reports indicate that if you refuse to pay, dispute the charges on your credit card, or cancel in any way that is not in accordance with the MoviePass / MediaPipe cancellation policy, that you will be threatened with bad marks on your credit report.
If you have already paid money to MoviePass, it is IMPERATIVE that you follow their directions and cancel your MoviePass / MediaPipe account immediately and remove MoviePass from your computer. To cancel your account, please visit the
MoviePass / MediaPipe cancellation webpage.
