I've never connected my Maxx, but with my X I believe that I could either double or right click on the icon in the status bar and there was an option there somewhere to "do nothing" when connected. It's been quite a while since I've done it, so hopefully I'm not too far off.

If you are talking about the media player that pops up when connecting to your computer do the following,
1. connect phone so it pops up.
2. in the lower right hand side of your comp right click the little icon for your phone.
3. select "when connected blah blah blah"
4. click, "do nothing"
5. close the verizon crap.

I am also having this issue, which just started a couple of weeks ago.
Whenever I start PDA Net on my maxx and connect the usb cable, the Chrome Browser opens to the verizon promotion website, even though my home page is google.
This is very annoying and any advise on how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.

This only started happening with the last update. Anytime you plug in the usb it enables a verizon add popup. I agree it is very annoying. Anyone found a fix yet? It's not the media pop up options as someone mentioned. It had to have been sent along with the update. I've looked thru files and settings using titanium backup and tried freezing some Verizon stuff that was new and still it persists. Maybe the folks at XDA know of a solution?

Remove MotoCast from the startup menu of your computer also...that might stop it from coming up in the first place when you plug your phone in...haven't tried it myself, but it should work.
EDITED TO ADD: Never mind...I see that I misunderstood the question...I thought he wanted to stop MotoCast itself from running. Yeah...that ad popping up is annoying...I know where the damn Verizon website is if I want to read their ads.
