I have a problem with this website. It keeps throwing in adds everywhere i look. I have tried everything the help pages say i should do to remove it, but everytime i restart Chrome it comes back.
TinyWallet adware is a PUP (potentially unwanted program) responsible for ads, deals, coupons, and pop-ups displayed in your Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. This happens if TinyWallet adware infected your computer when you installed it yourself, or got it installed with a free program that you download. TinyWallet is not malicious, and your ANTIVIRUS didn’t warn you on this potential threat. Now, you want to remove TinyWallet and it is a good idea because any adware program is a potential threat to your security and privacy.
TinyWallet is a program and web browser extension that are designed for tracking your web browsing and displaying ads and deals in your Chrome, FIREFOX, or INTERNET EXPLORER when you visits various websites. TinyWallet adware consists of a similarly named Windows application and plugins present as web browser extensions, add-ons, and BHO. These TinyWallet components are designed for tracking your web browsing and displaying advertising in various ways. If you click on TinyWallet ads, then the owner gets profit for your click from promoters. That is why TinyWallet is often deceptively installed. It wastes your time, web traffic, and compromises your privacy since gathered information about your habits are often shared among promoters. TinyWallet is often distributed with free program downloads. It is deceptively installed unless you disable this optional program before installing the program that you download. Removing TinyWallet is quite straight, but other adware that might come with it is often difficult to remove without special tools.
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

Just did that with Windows Defender, Malwarebytes and Spyhunter. Deleted all PUPs and stuff it came up with. Still there.

You could also check the add/remove programs list and browser extensions/add-ons--Also if youre being redirected to a particular website after resetting all your browser settings, check the properties of the shortcut for your web browser and see if theres a URL listed in the target field after the path to the .exe file which launches the program ^_^
I know this is way too late for this thread, but I had a similar problem and the only way I could fix it was to literally 'reset' Firefox, which apparently purges all user settings/plugins from Firefox, basically making it like it is a brand new install.
It's a pest to do it that way, but it worked for me.

Might try that next time (if i figure out how to give Chrome a terrible kick like that ^^)
I have both SpyHunter and Malwarebytes run daily scans these days just to avoid a infestation of lots of malware
Im quite suprised by the fact SpyHunter detects 10+ things per day while Malwarebytes does not even notice them..
