I did step 1, I have been trying to delete white smoke but I keep getting a prompt that I need to restart the PC I tried restarting many times and I always get the same prompt as soon as the pc comes back on. It says I need to restart to uninstall white smoke. I tried that many times but it would not uninstall it.

Hi mantgar,
Download both programs first.
Run Rkill,
DO NOT REBOOT. and then
immediately run TDSSKiller.
Step 1.
Download/run Rkill:
Please download
Rkill from one of the following links and save to your Desktop:
One,
Two, or
Three
- Right-click on Rkill And select " Run as administrator " to run it.
- A command window will open then disappear upon completion, this is normal.
- When finished, Notepad will open with a log called, "rkill.log".
- Please copy and paste the contents of the rkill.log in your next reply.
- The file is automatically saved... located at C:\rkill.log.
- Please leave Rkill on the Desktop until otherwise advised.
Note: If your security software warns about Rkill, please ignore and allow the download to continue.
Step 2.
TDSSKiller
Please goto
Bleepingcomputer TDSSKiller Download.
Click on the .exe version download button.
- Move this file to your desktop from the folder that your browser saved it in. Most likely here: C:\Users\???????\Downloads
- Once on your desktop, double click on TDSSKiller.exe to launch it.
- Click on Start Scan, the scan will run.
- When the scan has finished, if it finds anything please click on the drop down arrow next to Cure and select Skip
- Now click on Report to open the log file created by TDSSKiller in your root directory C:\
- To find the log go to Start > Computer > C:
- A log file should be created on your C: drive named something like TDSSKiller.2.4.0.0 24.07.2010.
- Post the contents of that log in your next reply please.
- DO NOT TRY TO FIX ANYTHING AT THIS POINT
