While Jollywallet is not malware it can be categorized as being adware because of it's deceptive promotion techniques. If you feel that Jollywallet was installed on your Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla FireFox) without your consent you can use the provided removal guide to eliminate unwanted ads while visiting online shopping websites. To avoid adware or PUP (potentially unwanted program) installation in the future be sure to use only legitimate websites for your freeware downloads, also always use a "Custom Installation" option instead of "Typical Install" when installing free software - this will allow to opt-out additional software installation.
