Today I wanted to talk about an <strong>adware<\/strong> named <strong>JollyWallet<\/strong> and thought I should give you some removal instructions. JollyWallet appears to be a variant of CrossRider that I&#8217;ve written about before.\u00a0If the JollyWallet adware is installed and running on your machine, you will see JollyWallet ads added in the top area of your\u00a0web browsers and a new add-on installed into Mozilla FireFox and Internet Explorer. I\u2019ll show how to remove JollyWallet in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-internet-explorer-add-on.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1891 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-internet-explorer-add-on.png\" alt=\"JollyWallet Internet Explorer Add-on signed by Radyoos Media Ltd.\" width=\"629\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-internet-explorer-add-on.png 629w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-internet-explorer-add-on-300x117.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-firefox-add-on.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1889 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-firefox-add-on.png\" alt=\"jollywallet firefox add-on - known to cause security or stability issues\" width=\"636\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-firefox-add-on.png 636w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-firefox-add-on-300x152.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The JollyWallet adware has been around for some time. I think I first spotted it in the spring of 2014, then it disappeared from the radar for some time, but now it appears to be distributed again.<\/p>\n<p>So, how did JollyWallet install on your machine? It was probably <strong>bundled<\/strong> with some download that you installed recently. Bundling means that software is included in other software&#8217;s installers. When I found JollyWallet, it was bundled with <strong>a download claiming to be an episode of the Game of Thrones TV-series<\/strong>. The screenshot below shows how the download informed the user that JollyWallet was bundled.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-disclosure.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1888 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-disclosure.png\" alt=\"JollyWallet disclosure in the bundling installer\" width=\"535\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-disclosure.png 535w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/jollywallet-disclosure-300x114.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I run into some new bundled software I usually upload it to VirusTotal to check if the anti-viruses there detect anything.
