Had a pop up from these charmers land on my desktop this morning,its asking for £39.99 for payment for my gold membership of some sex site,hover its trying to bill me for the dates 13 August,to the 11th November,reading other posts about this company seems to suggest they get you with 3 day subscriptions which you dont unsubscribe from,here they seem to be demanding paynent "up front".
Any ideas?this is the family PC and i dont want my daughters seeing this crud on the machine!
Cheers

Welcome to the Forum, HalloweenJack.

I'm not certain from your posting whether you've knowingly or otherwise accessed any of the sites who use MBS billing, but you can check this out using the method described on this website. 

Is this helpful?

I certainly didnt knowingly download this menace,i came back from work on Sunday morning,fired up the puter and noticed a "Sextracker "icon on the desktop,sent it straight to the recycle bin, went off on one with the kids,blaming them for "messing about "then lo and behold,this morning i get the pop up bill!Could it have been "hiding" in something else?
Anyhoo,one of the solutions posted here has appeared to help,so many thanks for that ;)Right,im off to apologise to my kids now!
Thanks for your great site and help.
I will be warning my friends and family,and know where to send them if they have any bother.
