No, it's a scam.





Spybot - http://security.kolla.de/ - will remove it - and it's free.
Reply:just pay it and enjoy
Reply:One of you has entered a site for what they say is a free trial period.I you are asked for ID like your E mail but not any bank details What they don't say is you must cancel this free period or the next three months becomes due.You only have 2 or 3 days to cancel. The next thing is the bill from mbs appears every time you log on.This will intensify each week until you will not be able to use your computer.at all. You will have to settle the bill,usually about 拢40 and then cancel the account to avoid any further bills.The error was in giving your e mail address in the first place.
Reply:It might be adware, spyware or a virus of some sort.....





DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY BANK DETAILS TO THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!





PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE YOU'VE SEEN THIS!!!!!!
Reply:NO YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY ,JUST TURN THEM IN TO B. B B, AND ANY OTHER PLACE YOU CAN THINK OF ,AND ALSO YOU CAN GO TO THAT SITE ,TO UNSUBSCRIBE AND IT TAKES ATLEAST 24HRS FOR THAT TO TAKE EFFECT , ALSO CHK ON THE SPAM BOX WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT ,DONT EVEN OPEN IT
Reply:be careful. run some security through your pc. may need to update your firewall etc. do not attempt to pay as they will use your details and steal your identity
Reply:from what I can tell, the problem you are experiancing is what are called popups, adware (software that advertises things ) or malware (software that has malicious intent such as scamming or data corruption). It is software or simpley a browser window that trys to get details or conscent from you. they can vary from simply bookmarking a site to harvesting bank details, and passwords. Just because they come up doesnt mean that you have ever visited that site it is simply somthing that you have come accros either via the internet or have somohow downloaded.


To help combat the situation I would advise several things.


Enable you firewall on your computer and/or modem. Find either a free or subscription security software. I would strognly recomend going for a well known one such as norton, McAffee or similar. Never accept popups ofering a fre virus scan or things that say 'weve detected 3 viruses on your system, click to install a programe to remove them!' this is most likley malicious. also a popup blocke would probably be usefull.


hope this helps
Reply:i had the same thing from a mysexworld TV or something along them lines , your not the only one there are thousands like me and you out there , its from a company called msb scammer , i got a mate to get rid for me because when i deleted it, it keep coming, back follow the instruction below and I'm guarantee it will go disappear


You can do all of this off line from the internet, infact i would adivse you to be DISCONNECTED when you do the following!





You need to disable an activeX control in your web browser for starters!





Ensure you are logged on as an adminstrator (in XP).





I did this on someone else computer because they started to get this and had no idea how it had started at all and the timer had got up to 9 minutes, this when the person needed to be study work for the course they were on!





I can not rember the exact names of files so please bear with me!





Goto the Tools menu and select Manage Add-ons..., this will open up an window, in here you will see a control that starts with mbs, mbs......., select it and then at the bottom click on the disable radio button.





This does not delete the item!


OK the window!





Now we need to go and see where the other items reside:





open up My Computer from the desktop!





if you can not see the windows folder in the following part, you will have to go into the Tools menu and then Folder Options, in the window that opens you need to go to the view tab. Here you need to go down and clik the radio button for "show hidden files and folders" you will find this under Hidden files and folders.





you will also need to unselect the tick box for "Hide extensions for know file types". This will allow you see the extension .exe and .dll etc for what we will be looking for in a minute!





We need to goto into the c drive, then into the windows folder, from here we go into the system32 folder(XP).





That being: C:\WINDOWS\system32





In system32 we are looking for these two files:





mbsmon32.exe


mbsreg.exe





Click the toolbar to display the information as details instead of thumbs etc! This is important!





Note the date that these files were installed on the pc and click on the header bar to sort all of the files into date order when they were last modified.





Now look down the date column and find that date, you will see about 6 files i think, you will see the icons used by the two files above plus some others, one or two may be dll files!





NOTE ****





It is important to find the files on that date BUT ensure that the files you select all have the same TIME STAMP as mbsmon32.exe and mbsreg.exe, this will ensure you only pick the files that were installed with these two files!





****





note these files down and log off the computer!





Boot XP up and start pressing F8!





This will bring up a menu to boot XP in safe mode and into the all seeing administrator!





Choose to use ****** safe mode! *******





This will start and maintain a low resolution screen, this is ok.





At the log on choose the Administrator even if your user id (logon) has Admin rights!





A warning window will display on the screen, ok this and allow it fully load!





Now open my computer (or explorer) and goto the files we found earlier!





Those being in: C:\WINDOWS\system32





*** Remember the TIME STAMP ***





Select them and delete them!





Start up msconfig by going to the start button on the desktop ( bottom left) and goto run, in the box that appears, type msconfig and click ok. A window will open, goto the startup tab and untick the program identified as mbs...... ok that and allow the computer to reboot!





You can now delete the icon of the desktop and from the startup menu from the start button.





I hope this has cleared your ploblem and has been of some use!





This information has been given in good faith and it is your responsibility to do with it you see fit!





I accept no responsibility for any actions brought against you or third parties for use of the above information.





Good luck!
