    WindoWeather is an adware program that advertises itself as a weather program, but is in fact is just a medium to display very intrusive advertisements on your desktop. Once installed, WindoWeather will display large advertisements that overlay your open applications and are very difficult to close. These advertisements are displayed in order to generate revenue for the adware developer.
    The advertisements shown by WindoWeather will be displayed in either your default browser or via the program itself. Ads that are opened via the WindoWeather program will be labeled Positive Ad and will typically display advertisements that state your computer is infected and that you should call a remote support company. These advertisements are very annoying as they contain a repeating audio voice that tries to harass you into calling their remote tech support number so you can be scammed, I mean charged, for support.
    It is important to note that the WindoWeather is bundled with and installed by free programs that did not adequately disclose that other software would be installed along with it. Therefore, it is important that you pay close attention to license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you immediately cancel the install and not use the free software.
    Without a doubt, WindoWeather was created for the sole purpose of displaying intrusive advertisements that try to scare you into thinking your computer is infected so you will call their remote support number. If you are infected with this program, please ignore any advertisements that are displayed and do not call the displayed number. To remove this adware and any related software, please use the removal guide below.
