Yontoo layers is a broswer plugin that is intended to allow you to add a custom profile on facebook. It's debated if the program poses a security risk, but most anti-virus and anti-malware programs will say it is and will remove it.

It's not a useful plugin, so it's best if you just remove it rather than have a program that is in the gray area in terms of security.

Answer 2

It's probable that you installed this software when downloading a game or signing up for an offer. When signing up for offers like that, various software is included as a bundle package. The Yontoo Layers plug-in is ad-supported and tested as safe by McAfee, Norton, and the BBB. You can easily uninstall the software by going going to your start menu > control panel > remove programs > remove "Yontoo Layers."

Not sure how you got it , but then I don't know how I got it. But I saw it and removed it before Facebook even told me about it. I did see I had these pop-up windows with adds (somethings I was interested in LOL). The question is what did this thing post to our friends pages ????.
None the less do what Facebook says and uninstall it from control panel, add remove programs.
