Just checked this site out again 1 year after buying my laptop & getting that MBS thing on it.
I reset it to factory settings………..it’s never been back. I’m still paranoid about clicking on stuff when on line though.
In reply to Jamie (1yr late, apologies). I will never get a bill through the post, as I understand it all you can get from an ISP is the City or rough wherabouts of a user. It takes hundreds of man hours to track down unpleasant people using the internet for god knows what, I feel pretty confident mbs won’t be too bothered I didn’t fall for there Ã‚Â£19.99 scam. By the way, there not that clever realy are they, maybe the guy who wrote the nasty little program is but he should put his talents to better use.

Cheers

I have the MBS pop-up too
it is the most annoying piece of rubbish in the world
It even got through windows live onecare >:(
live onecare has protected me for the 3 months free trial from everything, apart from thet stupid MBS!!
now my free trial has run out and I’m getting spammed even more with it!
windows does the smart thing and tries blocking the window by warning me
but the verry instant I close it it pops back up!
I’ve checked all files and folders [literaly]
and even processes but I can only find the local version -.-’
so now even when I’m not online it spams a folder on my computer with the images and pops up as a .htm file
I have truly had enough those hacking masters must have used a worm / leech virus!
which in most cases are illegal!
Time to SUE! [if only I were older than 14, then I could sue]
if anyone finds out how to get rid of this MBS scum then make a whole site and forum about it because it will be popular >=D

If you post that information on the MBS Victims Forum, you are more likely to get a response from somebody with the knowledge to answer you. Also, you might want to check out the Prevx site, which has a useful free trial.

But – please! contact Trading Standards to complain. Your child should not be able to access such material, and MBS are making it extremely easy for him to do this.

pzsys1.exe is this one of the files that MBS has infected my PC with. Spybot has found this but before I pay for my version I want to make sure this spyware has found the right trojan to delete this scum from my pc.

Hi Sharon, You might find this forum post useful: Though it doesn't resolve the issue it's a good starting point. I'd recommend that you join the MBS Victims forum and ask there, because this page has now become rather difficult to keep a track on.
