Details

I don't know where this comes from, but it's accumulated a half million, mostly enabled foreign installs in a very short amount of time. There are also several SUMO reports about it appearing and altering the content of web pages, and hundreds of sites which report it as malware.

This is apparently also associated with the Yontoo add-on:

Developers have been contacted.
Had a brief discussion with the developers, and they say these add-ons are no longer maintained. While they preferred not to be blocklisted, I didn't see any choice in this case.
