I have removed it from ADD OR REMOVE programs, and deleted it from Windows explorer, but it keeps popping up at random, I never authorized the download of this program onto my harddrive, and I can't even get customer service on how to remove it, they "popcorn.net" wants me to pay for it. Someone please Help me!

IF OTHER SUGGESTIONS FAIL, try the following:
Go to START, click onto SEARCH, and then type in POPCORN. Now let the search run. If any POPCORN files are found DELETE them. There should be NO Windows Popcorn files or for that matter, there should be NO popcorn files for your other programs.
Good Luck.

You need to download Ad-Aware Personal from www.lavasoft.com and download Zone Alarm (free version) from www.zonelabs.com
Ad-Aware should remove it from your system, and Zone Alarm will allow you to restrict its access to the internet if it ever gets downloaded again. Run Ad-Aware daily to help keep your system clean of adware, spyware, and malware. Be sure to keep it up to date too.
