    "Not diggin' it!"

    by LoWdOwN2k6 on October 17, 2006

    Pros: Tells you the weather.

    Cons: Uninstalling is a pain. When attempting to remove the Prog through add/remove or its unintall icon it takes you to a survey page. When finished it does nothing, prog is still there. But if ou navi to its files and Open the Framework folder there is an unwise prog inside. With that and a few manual deletes i was able to clear reminance of the annoying resource eating menace.

    "Frustrating Program"

    by M7a4r3k on January 8, 2007

    Pros: The program does what it is intended to do. The taskbar information is nice to have. Its easy and accurate.

    Cons: I was done using the program and cannot uninstall it. The add/remove program stops responding. I am uninstalling the program because it slows the startup of the computer. I don't care for the overall program and popups.

    "Totally wack excremware (tricks, cheats, spyware, ad-ware,pop-ups...)"

    by Dlux Haze on December 18, 2006

    Pros: never having meet this coarse-ware

    Cons: This product is an attempt to cheat people.

    It is full of spyware, ad-ware, etc.

    The worst is that after a very complex install try to force you to install even more ad-ware,after openning several web pages (that include even more n more spies)

    if you don't move yourself with care you can let your e-mail account useless because it sends tons and tons of spasm to your account.

    the most annoying is the un-install system that is the las attempt to cheat you again,

    when you try to un-install this ad-ware not only it don't do nothig, it keeps on your system!

    the fake uninstaller opens various Web pages that attemt to cheat you AGAIN installing more spyware,ad-ware and spasm, it seems that never has enough, it tries and re-tries his tricks.

    In the end you have to erase this ad-ware manually.

    You have to go to program files and do it.

    But nothing ends here, if you take a look to your system you find more installers in document and settings and, inside more folders.

    After all that you run some cleaner program such as Ashampoo winoptimizer and it finds more garbage of weather channel into your system!!!

    this program is a tireless ad-ware instaler!!!

    It is true that it don't have moral limitations.

    I ernestly recommend to DO NOT INSTALL this crap in your system if you apreciate your computer!!!
