See my reply (#22).

Weatherbug is loaded with spy-ware and ad-ware. It causes pop-ups and like "E.T." it "phones home" about your internet activities.

When you remove the spyware with something like "Adaware" or "Spybot Search & Destroy" the Weatherbug software stops working.

You wouldn't believe the number of complaints on it.

I stop pop ups with Popup stopper. Look on Google for it. It's free.

I clear my cookies (spy ware) on a regular basis. What other spyware does it do? I also have Zone Alarm.

Thanks for the heads up.

I tried WB several yrs ago and it installed a spy program called Gator. That program devoured my machine. I wrote them a nasty e-mail about it.
Some months later I started getting e-mails from 'Stephanie' advising me that Gator was no longer packaged with WB and to try it again.

I was thinking about trying it of late but you just convinced me otherwise.

I agree. I had weather bug for a year or so. Never seen so many popups or so much spyware in my life. I was sad to see it go, cause it's a nice to have program, just not worth the stuff with it.
