Whitesmoke Toolbar

What is Whitesmoke Toolbar?

Whitesmoke Toolbar is a browser extension that offers translation service. The official policy of this product is to provide the user with the best quality automatic translation there is. Nevertheless, Whitesmoke Toolbar as an application has gone too far, because it is installed on the users' computers without their consent, and it is even hard to remove it.

Despite the fact that Whitesmoke Toolbar does offer the user to translate various web contents, it also forcefully redirects him to affiliated websites that might contain malware. Also, with the toolbar installed on the web browser Whitesmoke redirects all of your searches by default. The search results you get redirected to are usually related to some malicious software that focuses on stealing money from unsuspecting users.

Whitesmoke Toolbar also generates a list of pop-up advertisements that might contain links to other malware. The fact that Whitesmoke Toolbar can be responsible for bringing more malware onto the target computer is rather peculiar, considering it is a legitimate program. However, it is very common for hackers to utilize known names in order to distribute their malware. Therefore, Whitesmoke Toolbar gets used as well. Hence, this toolbar is classified as potentially unwanted application, and it is recommended to delete it from the system.

Since it is rather complicated to remove Whitesmoke Toolbar manually, use a program that categorizes this browser extension as an unwanted application. A legitimate program will erase Whitesmoke Toolbar from your computer and you will be protected from possible malware infections.
