This is what I came up with when I googled "TinyInstaller.exe":
Clicky

It sounds to me (and I'm sure someone will jump in here and correct me if I'm off base) like you have more of a Adware problem than a virus problem. I'd go ahead and delete them from quarantine. You might want to also download and run Adaware (free version) from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
It detects and safely removes dataminers, tracking cookies, dialers, BHO's and other objects from your computer. This link will help you configure AAW for your first scan: http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=11613

Good luck!
