Unwanted Browser Add-ons

I use Avast! and the new version has additional features, one of which is Broswer clean-up. Apparently when you download software you often get an unnecessary add-on which is Adware. This purports to come from Google, Firefox etc. but is not. Avast! cleaned up these except for one called Yontoo and it cannot deal with this one. Does anyone know of a simple method of deleting it. It does not show up in Programs!

Thanks, but had already tried most of these but Avast! still tell me it is there but it cannot remove it. Malwarebytes no good either.
Is it there?

Yes! Someone else recommended Spybot S & D. this found it (and others) and stated it was Fixed, but Avast! continues to show it. I will try these later, spent enough time on it for now. Thanks."0844 COSTS YOU MORE"0 -
Used ADw Cleaner and it says it found loads more, but when I ran Advast! browser clean-up it is still showing and Advast cannot remove it. So, maybe it is not there at all !! I am giving up ! But thanks for your help."0844 COSTS YOU MORE"0
