Yontoo adware - how to eliminate Buzzdock ads from Google and deceptive ads from YouTube?
Yontoo is a company that develops browser add-ons and web applications. Their products include such web apps as Best Video Downloader (web app which allows users download videos from YouTube), PageRage (app which allows users to change Facebook layouts), EasyInline (app that adds possibility to highlight text and ads options to search across various popular resource sites) and many other. While the thought of enhancing Internet browsing experience by developing various browser add-ons and plug-ins is praiseworthy Yontoo apps are all ad supported and are using some deceptive ways to display them. For example after installing Best Video Downloader YouTube visitors will notice that the ads that are shown when visiting YouTube doesn't come from Google anymore, Yontoo app overrides Google ads with their own.
To my mind downloading YouTube videos doesn't fit to any copyright laws in the first place, furthermore ads that are shown in YouTube after installing Best Video Downloader app can make some big troubles to the security of your PC and to your privacy. Some of the mentioned ads will ask user to fill some online forms in order to claim some prize (scam) etc. Such shady ads could easily end up in installation of unwanted applications or even malware.


Furthermore while having Yontoo apps installed on your Internet browsers you will notice that when using Google search engine the ads that are displayed while performing a search no longer comes from Google. Yontoo overrides them with Buzzdock ads. Google is a reputable company which spends a lot of time and money to filter out ads that could make harm to your computer or your own privacy, to my mind having some third party ads appear in the place of original ads is not a good idea.If you have installed Yontoo by yourself and you are happy with the free services that you get you shouldn't do anything, just be cautious when clicking on the ads that are shown in YouTube and Google, but if you care about your computer's security and your own privacy you should remove this unwanted app from your PC. Use the provided removal guide to help you eliminate Yontoo from your computer.

i did all the 3 step & it works. my life is back to normal. thank you for posting the info. i appreciate.

IMO Firefox shouldn't allow add-ons to be installed without you knowing (and there's a setting for that that apparently doesn't work in the case of Yontoo)... note also that AVG didn't detect Yontoo, either.
I think there's a special place in Hell for these people that write spyware/adware, tight next to the telemarketers.....
I allowed Spybot to remove what it could but later I noticed that my right-click menu in Firefox had a lot of extra crap in it (it was huge) so I started looking and Yontoo was in the add-ons (I had noticed my browser had crashed and then when I restarted it there was a message about checking add-ons for compatibility)
Spybot claims that Facebook installs it without your knowlege and I think that must be right as I didn't have any problems until I visited Facebook a couple of days before. I had Flash Video Downloader Youtube Video Downloader for several weeks before this with no problem.
I removed Yontoo from the Firefox add-ons but also ran this uninstaller I got from the Firefox support page someone had posted and between uninstalling Yontoo from the add-ons and runing the uninstaller my computer seems to be working normally now.
since kaspersky can't find anything, that's all the proof i have of my success.
is it possible to REMOVE yontoo from firefox without uninstalling firefox its self? i have bestvideodownlo ader on firefox (OSX 10.6), but i can't see anything of yontoo in the addons. is it "hiding" or just incompatible with the mac version of the browsers?
I probably caught it, as i installed Bestvideodownlo ader or some mp3 converter from Dvdvideosoft. since i always pay good attention to what can optionally be installed with the programs; I don't think it is any use unchecking the boxes, for it was installed without my knowledge.
the weirdest of all things is this:
my up-to-date kaspersky internet security 2013 never detected anything or warned me at all. about an hour before i noticed yontoo, i was redirected by conduit, when i tried to google. after all, i noticed there was yontoo, browser manager and conduit installed to my computer.
i should add, that of these three, only browser manager was listed in the control panel.
