Hi All,
Removing sexxpassport and MBS pop-up.
This one is easy, re-start the computer in safe mode.
Log on as administrator.
Open task manager, ctrl-alt-del.
Click on processes tab, find "SMVALID" and end process.
Navigate to system32 folder, find 3 files....IMVALID.ICO.BAKO, IMVALID and SMVALID, they should all have the same date, and just delete them. Look for any other files of the same date, but these should be all of them.
Restart your computer and test. Once you are happy all is OK, make a fresh restore point.
NOTE; If you don't shut down the SMVALID in running processes first you will get "Access Denied" when you try to delete it.
I have read on some forums that MBS are likely to change the name of these files, so if they have, just track down the files by the date they were downloaded and use a similar process to the above.
Under no circumstances PAY these crooks to get rid of their own pop-up.
And as Peter says above, stay away from these porn sites and use Ares P to P or similar.
Good luck.
Mr Fixit.
PS. If the above works for you, please pass it on, let's put these crooks out of business.

Hi,
I have had the same problem recently and if you go onto the pc advisor forum there are clear instructions on how to get rid of this program.
I did mine yesterday morning and so far so good. It does take a little time to do and I would suggest that you ensure that you have no interuptiod while you are in the process.
Good Luck

End the process in Task Manager first, then delete the files.
Install RegCleaner and remove the offending programme from the StartupList.
Then: Start, Run, regedit
Under the Edit tab, find...
Search for "sexxx" (no quotes) and delete all these keys.
It wouldn't hurt to install a prog like CCleaner to get rid of any remnants.
RegCleaner & CCleaner are both free and clean.
Do you have a firewall in place? Virus checker? Spyware detector? If not get them now! There's plenty of freebies out there.
In future, don't download anything from porn sites. As far as they're concerned, TANSTAAFL!!!
You want porn, then get it through a torrent site.

also hidden in the Cdrive/SYSTEM32 is the sexxxpassport programme!!! their are many files try to look at/arrange by the date as this is probably the most easiest method. i am currently tryin to solve the problem myself.
im choosing to permenantly delete all relating files/programmes this is a very dangerous HIGH RISK option!!
also if u choose to pay how do u no it wil stop popups? and who is considering to pay for somthing that u hav no idea wtf it is?
as im in the same situation as you i wud be grateful if u told me ur progess and actions. Thanx

under C drive the file name is system32 it cant be deleted! as it claims to run the system etc... this is the programme that is causing constant disription.
i need a way to get rid of it, as it is not a virus it isnt pikd up by the computer security, it is an illeagle programme yet it still contiues to go around.
look for files: mbrsm32 aplications if u can destroy them let us know thanx
