"Good, but..."
Version: The Weather Channel Desktop 6.0.0.29
Pros
Obviously it provides the current weather conditions and warnings and doe that just fine.
Cons
Always comes up maximized and has a lot of trouble with the weak wireless signal that I have. I frequently get error messages and hang ups from this software when my signal strength drops off during boot up. After I get the laptop up and running the software seems ok after that.
Summary
My Norton's hasn't detected any kind of virus or malware activity. I keep it and Windows updated religiously.

"Not user friendly!"
Version: The Weather Channel Desktop 6.0.0.29
Pros
None just another hard to use program.
Cons
Supposed to be user friendly and is not! Could not set it so it only shows on the taskbar when starting computer.
Summary
Un installing was a long process and had to do several things. Including the last thing, to use CCleaner to clean out the files left over. Because of Windows popup for weather channel APP needs to close after un installing it. Too much trouble to get it out of my computer!
I recommend using CCleaner to scan for registry issues. You can remove the bad files using this. Worked great for me!

"TERRIBLE AND VIRUS WARNING"
Version: The Weather Channel Desktop 6.0.0.29
Pros
Don't try.
Cons
Don't try.
Summary
I don't recommend anyone download this program. I have good internet security and I tried downloading this and it told me it was unsafe. My protection wouldn't let me download it so that's good. I also downloaded something else from this site and got a bad virus and I had trouble removing it. I use to like this side, but seems like alot of the software now are virus infected.

"El download de weather channel no se instala completo"
Version: The Weather Channel Desktop 6.0.0.29
Pros
ninguno ya que no se puede abrir
Cons
Con todos los problemas que todo el mundo saben que tiene siempren brindan buena informacion.
Summary
No se porque Cnet sigue insistiendo con el download de un programa que la instalacion nunca se puede terminar de completar.He tratado con win 7 x64 en inumerables ocaciones de instalar diferentes versiones a traves de descargas de Cnet. Tambien lo he echo directamente con el proveedor y utilizando otras fuentes de instalacion.El problema consiste en que aunque complete correctamente todas las desgargas y aparescan estas en los diferentes archivos de mi P/C.Nunca aparece el icono weather en mi escritorio.Estos downloads no se abren, ni se ejecutan.He tenido que borrar todos estos porque de nadan sirven tenerlos y no poderlos utilizarlos. Esto me esta pasando solamente con weather channel desktop, pero nunca con ningun programa que ustedes ofrescan hasta el momento.Gracias por toda la ayuda que Cnet ofrece, con toda la variedad de descargas de programas y por la magnifica y maravilloso servicio y actualizacion de scan automatizado que brindan para estar siempre al dia. Sigan adelante con su trabajo.Siempre con exito.Gracias

"pretty good"
Version: The Weather Channel Desktop 6.0.0.29
Pros
easy to change to different cities, maps are clear. security is good, too
Cons
it tries to *load* something on the page under the map, but it never finishes. every time i go into the desktop weather program, it never finishes the *load* function.
Summary
overall, i like this program and it is somewhat better put together than some of the others. this lets me put in my home town, others need a larger city near my home. but i like this one because it lets me use my 'real' address.
