Hi Lude2Envy,

 

Welcome to the Norton Community Forums!

 

Yontoo.B is a potentially unwanted application that installs a browser extension to display advertisements that appear to be from Facebook. To ensure that it is completely removed from your Mac, please do the following:

 

1. On the Apple menu bar, click Go, and from the drop-down select Computer.

2. Double-click your Macintosh HD, and navigate to the folder \Library\ Internet Plug-Ins.

3. In the Internet Plug-Ins window, look for unfamiliar browser extensions like "OSX.Adplugin.i" and delete it.

4. Also look for the browser extension in Macintosh HD > Users > username > Library > Internet Plug-Ins where "Users" is your user account name.

 

Ensure that you run a Full System Scan after running LiveUpdate on your Norton product for Mac. You can also refer to this Symantec Security Response writeup for detailed information on Yontoo.B.

 

Do let us know the outcome or if the issue gets resolved, please mark your post as Solved.

 

Thanks,

Lucky

Kudos given as I am a Malware remover, but not for Mac  (Not a Macite) so I didn't touch.

Nothing looks suspicious in the main Internet Plugins folder. The Plugins folder under users is empty. Everytime I run a full system scan it says Yontoo was found but nothing about removing it.

if you dont detected, i would prefer to use the free version of dr. web for mac.

 

deactivate norton complete before scanning - its importent.

 

remove yontoo if detected and run nav for mac again.
