The Internet Explorer History View program
How did the MBS/Platte Media software get onto my PC? You can answer this question using the Internet Explorer History View program (iehv.exe). Here’s how to run it:
–
a) If your problem started within the last 20 days or so, please download this tool (described) from here. You will need to move the downloaded zip file (42 Kb) into a folder (create a new one under ‘my documents’) and unzip (extract) it.
b) Then click on the iehv file (IE History View) to run the program – it just lists your browser history by giving the date and time for every site visited.
c) You will see a list of sites visited over the last 20 days (default browser setting – it may be less or somebody might have recently wiped the history – see below for advice).
If your history doesn’t cover the right period, instructions on recovering deleted history may help.
d) You can sort the entries into modified date order (by earliest first) by clicking on the ‘modified date’ heading. Getting the sort order right is essential to track your browsing history accurately.
e) Select all the entries (use ‘edit’ top of screen, click, then ’select all’ or just use Ctrl and A). All the entries will then be ‘ticked’. Save them to a text file (file, save selected items) for closer examination.
Important note: The MBS/Platte Media bill appears on the fourth day after the billing software was first downloaded to your computer – look for getfilmsnow.com, movierecall.com, sexxxpassport.com, mysexworld.com (note: the installation for mysexworld appears as ‘membersmatter.net’) or any other porn-related sites when reviewing the browser history with everyone who used the PC. When the bill pops up (or porn is viewed), the site is also recorded.
Anybody who seriously thinks (after a careful review of their history) that the billing software downloaded without consent must be prepared to submit their saved Internet Explorer history view file to me for technical examination. Despite many emotive claims to date, nobody has provided proof that installation is without user consent. Please ensure your history file is in modified date order – earliest first.
