While the software does what it advertises, users have reported that
it is hard to remove Popcorn.net and the Download Manager software when
they are done with it. The Popcorn.net software grants you a free 3-day
trial period during which you can use the Popcorn.net Download Manager
service. According to the Popcorn.net
Terms of Service, if your Popcorn.net / Download Manager software
trial expires, you are required to pay for a minimum of one month of service.
To avoid incurring this charge, you would have needed to cancel your Popcorn.net
account before your trial expired.
Popcorn.net maintains that users with expired trials have entered into
a binding contract and that these users now owe Popcorn.net money for
the service they agreed to pay for. While their TOS is quite clear, there
are no popup messages alerting users to this seemingly important detail
until after their trial has expired and it is time to collect. The popups
escalate in frequency until they disrupt your computing experience almost
continually. In addition, Popcorn.net's Download Manager software also
transmits a list of all installed programs on your computer back to the
Popcorn.net organization. Popcorn.net claims that this helps them overcome
any software "conflicts," but it has earned them a designation
of Spyware from Schrock Innovations.
If you see these popups on your computer, you already have a Popcorn.net
Download Manager account, and you MUST cancel your Popcorn.net account
if you wish to discontinue service. Failure to cancel your Popcorn.net
account could result in collection activities and damage to your credit
report.

Manager software will remain on your computer until you meet your
"obligations" (i.e. pay them a subscription fee). Even the
remove Popcorn.net link in your Add/Remove programs will not eliminate
the Popcorn.net Download Manager software.

reports indicate that when users visit the page, Popcorn.net demands
money to remove Popcorn.net' Download Manager popups from your computer.

Popcorn.net Cancellation Page and follow the remove Popcorn.net
