Yontoo malware

This may be the best way to remove the adware.
Remove Yontoo Layers (Uninstall Guide)
If this does not work try using adwcleane, an online cleaner.
If none of the above does the trick, I think going back a week prior to the problem with system restore will work.

Please advise us of the out come.

alyseshadow,

Let's try the following:

Please use the tool Zoek:
Download > Download z o e k . e x e version 5.0.0.0
Click the left button: Download Zoek.exe

When the download appears, save to the Desktop.

Next, temporarily disable your AV program so it does not interfere with the running of this program..
Info on how to disable your security applications > How To Temporarily Disable Your Anti-virus, Firewall And Anti-malware Programs - Security Mini-Guides

On the Desktop, right-click the Zoek.exe file and select: Run as Administrator (Give it a few seconds to appear.)

Next, copy/paste the entire script inside the code box below to the input field of Zoek:

Code:

StandardSearch; 
installer-list;
installedprogs;   
uninstall-list;
emptyfolderscheck; 
srinfo;

Now...

• Close any open Browsers.
• Click the Run script button, and wait. It takes a few minutes to run all the script.
• When the tool finishes, the zoek-results.log is opened in Notepad.
• The log is also found on the systemdrive, normally C:\
• If a reboot is needed log is opened after the reboot.

Please post the zoek-results.log in your reply.
