In system configuration--->startup
"Launch Whitesmoke Translator" -still here, disabled but still here, nothing else from whitesmoke is on my computer anywhere I've looked.
"{9ABA99F9-A8FE-7E89-8E99-AE8b85E9AE9B}"- NOT SURE what this is, assuming it might have something to do with whitesmoke?

Additional information: I also uninstalled cricket broadband connect, which had also been giving me issues of magically coming back after being uninstalled (similar to whitesmoke....which eventually just said the path was missing). Under startup something called Daemon was listed and its commandpath included cricket in it. The publisher for both whitesmoke and the "Daemon" thing were unknown. The publisher for "{9ABA99F9-A8FE-7E89-8E99-AE8b85E9AE9B}" is also unknown. Could there be any connection? FYI the bottom two programs under startup were Daemon and whitesmoke, NOW (after uninstalling cricket and whitesmoke; both of which have left no trace of themselves on my computer now (except for what I stated above)) the bottom two programs are "{9ABA99F9-A8FE-7E89-8E99-AE8b85E9AE9B}" and whitesmoke.
