My grandson put popcorn.net on my computer without my knowledge for a 3 day trial but didn't cancel it before the end of the trial period and it won't stop popping up for some money. How can it be removed?

if you're not interested in learning how you got it on your pc in the first place, skip down to the heading "UPDATED REMOVE popcorn.net INSTRUCTIONS:" and read from there, at the bottom are the numbers 1 2 3 4 - click 2 to move onto page 2 and so on.
it may not seem like a 'one click' solution, but that's because popcorn.net is a particularily nasty little bug so all steps are necessary.
good luck.
don't forget to 'accept' this answer if it worked for you.

Go to control panel and use remove programs tool and look for it.
If it is not there do start,programs and see if it is there with an uninstall icon in the sub menu.
If still no luck, look for it's folder in programs.
Delete the folder and then run spyware doctor and registry mechanic.
It is worth anyone who owns a computer's money to invest in these two excellent software for removing unwanted programs, especially ones that hide.

Click the Start button.
Select Control Panel on the right side.
Go to "Add or Remove Programs".
Select the Popcorn thing and push the button to remove it.

You must uninstall it from the control panel but if you install it after wards the trial will be removed...and it would be in the position that you must buy..it

One way to stop the pop-ups is by using a software.
System Mechanic can handle that =)

Your best bet would to try and find a number to call. Most likely you will have to pay, but at least they won't keep charging you when you're not using it!
