How to Uninstall JollyWallet – Removal Guide

Jollywallet removal can be difficult as this parasite is classified as PUP, and the most common form in which it spreads is through browser plug-ins. It gets installed along with a bundle of other freeware and 3rd party shareware programs. It affects all browsers and as a result the user is bombarded with numerous commercial pop-ups when they visit e-commerce websites such as Walmart, Amazon and eBay. Behind the facade of notifying internet users about latest promotions, discounts and sales, and coupons, it also notifies the user about missing programs and deceptively gets programs like Yontoo, Incredibar, FB Photo Zoom and other adware installed. You may not notice it at first, and will realize it later when the system starts slowing down and browsing speed decreases. Jollywallet, has links to 3rd party sites which track, collects and sells user’s online activity details and private information. Through all of this, Jollywallet generates web traffic and collects leads for sales for other suspicious sites. Even though Jollywallet is not a virus, it has particularly malicious behavior making it a completely unwanted program. If you find all these pop-ups annoying or realize that Jollywallet was installed without your consent or permission, uninstalling the program is the best solution.
