whitesmoke toolbar how to remove?


Recommended Posts

Soooo earlier this evening, i wanted to watch a video on videoweed and it told me that i needed a new plug in to watch it, so i clicked the link and it started installing. i didn't really understand the steps, and if i didnt take the toolbar it wouldnt work, so i took it. then i saw it was starting to download so i panicked and tried to cancel it but i couldnt. i closed my computer and when i reopened it, there was this whitesmoke toolbar on google chrome. i went to check on control panel, but there was nothing about whitesmoke there, so i searched it throught my cpu, and i didnt find anything either. i looked on google and tried with paretologic pc health advisor, it didnt work. i tried with revo uninstaller pro, it didnt work either. i tried also with malwarebytes anti-malware and it didn't work. somebody help me? my cpu is slower i already noticed...

Hello mariegommeballoune! My name is Maniac and I will be glad to help you solve your malware problem.

  • I recommend you to keep the instructions I will be giving you so that they are available to you at any time. You can save them in a text file or print them.
  • Make sure you read all of the instructions and fixes thoroughly before continuing with them.
  • Follow my instructions strictly and don’t hesitate to stop and ask me if you have any questions.
  • Post your log files, don't attach them. Every log file should be copy/pasted in your next reply.

Step 1

Please download AdwCleaner from here and save it on your Desktop.

  1. Right-click on adwcleaner.exe and select Run As Administrator to launch the application.
  2. Now click on the Search tab.
  3. Please post the contents of the log-file created in your next post.

Note: The log can also be located at C:\ >> AdwCleaner[XX].txt >> XX <-- Denotes the number of times the application has been ran, so in this should be something like R1.

Step 2

  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Go to Update tab and select Check for Updates. If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Go to Scanner tab and select Perform Quick Scan, then click Scan.
  • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Extra Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  • Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.

Extra Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediately.

In your next reply, post the following log files:

  • AdwCleaner log
  • Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware log
