Beware of Popcorn.net

Beware people a site called Popcorn.net is bad. A guy in Glenwood, Iowa said he tried the free trial and it left his computer virtually useless. They offer unlimited movies and music. After three days if you don't decide to join and pay your computer is infested with their pop-ups. Not just little ones full screen size so you can't even shut down. The local t.v. news station investigated and found other incidences and that Popcorn.net also operates under the name "Moviepass". There has been 260 complaints since March to the Better Business Bureau. Most complaints involve pop-up ads. The Federal Trade Commission has filed a lawsuit against Popcorn.net. If you have problems with pop-up ads call the company at 866-431-7720 if that don't work file a complaint with the FTC. Careful out there everyone bye for now.
