What is MoneyTree?
MoneyTree is an advertising supported executable program that is usually installed without user consent or knowledge. MoneyTree may display advertisements in various forms including Pop-up Ads, Pop-Under Ads, Button Links, Taskbar Bubbles, and/or other forms. MoneyTree may cause a slow internet connection as well due to the increased usage of bandwidth. Replication is not common with MoneyTree. It is highly recommended that you remove MoneyTree.

How did I get MoneyTree?
Most likely, MoneyTree was bundled or integrated with a desired program. The EULA, or End User License Agreement of the desired program possibly stated that MoneyTree would be installed and that MoneyTree would display advertisements regularly. Other distribution tactics of MoneyTree include browser vulnerabilities, deceptive Pop-up boxes designed to appear as legitimate Windows dialog boxes, and/or drive-by downloads.

How do I remove MoneyTree?
More than likely, MoneyTree has thoroughly embedded itself in your system making it very difficult to remove manually.
