DO NOT TOUCH WHITESMOKE WITH A TEN-FOOT POLE!! Whatever it may once have been, it is now pure scam. My experience is like Mike’s. It was bundled with another program and installed itself even though I unchecked it in the installer. It took over most of my file associations so that no matter what I tried to open, all I got was Whitesmoke. It made itself my Homepage and default search engine in three different browsers. Took me several days to root it out, and I still find traces.

Hint: to get XP to recognize .exe files again, in any folder click Tools/Folder Options/File Types/New, type in “exe”, click “Advanced”, choose “Application”, “OK”, “OK”. For .lnk shortcuts do the same but choose “Shortcut.” Good luck!

Whitesmoke is a piece of crap program that installed on my computer even after I clicked “Skip”.

Now I cannot get rid of it no matter what I try: Remove programs, system restore, malware removers, nothing has worked. I contacted their online chat who told me they are only their for sales and they recommended I use their support email which I did. No reply.

Google “Whitesmoke malware” if you don’t believe me. And I find it incredibly ironic that some of you paid for something I got for “free” that I do not want.

BEWARE! This is the worst hyped software program ever. It will not do what it says it will do. It is supposed to automatically show up in MS Word and Outlook – sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it checks the whole document and sometimes only a paragraph in the document. It works half the time and the other half is junk. It misses misspelled words regularly. It is a nuisance to work with. Truly, it is a piece of garbage. BEWARE!

It is not good! Many corrections are wrong! Get it if you want to embarrass yourself! The costumer service does not know how to deal with unusual questions… Advertisement of the software online is deceitful. Not trustworthy for serious writers.

Don’t download this program !!! You will spend many hours trying to remove it from your system. It’s listed as Malware and I believe it. A friend suggested I try whitesmoke but I didn’t care for it because I didn’t feel it was accurate enough. When I tried to uninstall the program it was impossible. I still am working on a solution and may have to re-format my hard drive. Do now download it.
