Cons: - Garbage ware
- Doesn't work (possibly due to me running Vista 64)

"Unconscienable amount of Garbage Wear comes with it"
Pros: Works most of the time.
Cons: Unconscienable amount of Garbage comes stealthily downloaded with it.. including a shopping Toolbar.. and much else.
Summary: Avoid completely.
There are many better programs than this VIRUS.
Takes alot of time ti get rid of garabge to 'enjoy' the mediocre service.
Avoid at all costs and.. the the Weather Channel: **** *** -

Version: The Weather Channel Desktop 6.0.0.7
"If you want it I guess it is ok."
Pros: It installed with Trillian after I unchecked that I didn't want it.....I had it anyway.
Cons: When trying to uninstall it was missing a file to do so. Which it says will be fixed in the next version. Is 6.0.0.7 the one that if installed on top will uninstall the whole thing?
Summary: For those that can't go to the weather channel to check it out I guess it is just fine. But for those of us that don't need another thing that is running all the time and in our face all the time we don't like it. I just want to uninstall it.
