Always Weather

What is Always Weather?

Always Weather is  a free browser extension that provides you with information about the weather in real time and also shows a forecast for 5 days. The application identifies your location, and you can also add extra locations of your interest manually. The seemingly useful and safe browser extension falls to the category of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) and, hence, can be removed from the computer by certain anti-malware programs. The reasons why this application should not be trusted blindly are discussed further, but, if you have already determined to remove Always Weather for your computer, the instructions below will help you do so in no time.testtest

How does Always Weather spread?

The odds are that you do not know how this browser extension has been installed to your Chrome browser. The Always Weather extension has its official website alwaysweather.net and is also promoted in the Chrome store, but it is also bundled with other programs. Bundled software is very often distributed in a quite shady manner. The software installer may contain several additional, or optional, programs. In some case, the installation of the program selected in the first place can be possible only if you agree to install additional programs. If you find that you can opt out of installation of extra software, do so, especially if you are not sure whether the program offered is safe to use. Keeping the system protected by an anti-malware program would normally ease such situations because the security software would identify the questionable program and alert you about it. Paying attention to even minor details when selecting and installing software is essential so that you can prevent unexpected consequences, such as system malfunctions or even data leaks.

How does Always Weather work?

Always Weather is compatible with the Chrome browser. Once installed, it adds its button to the browser so that you can check the weather any time. Always Weather is a free application, and it is very likely that it is ad-supported. While testing the application at anti-spyware-101.com, no obtrusive advertisements were observed. However, some third-party pop-up, pop-unders, web banner, and advertisements of different types might be displayed to you while browsing the Internet. Such ads should be avoided because very often their purpose is to take you to unreliable websites where you might be asked to download software or provide your personal information. Another reason why you should think critically about Always Weather is that the developers of the application do not provide any terms of use or privacy policy. Such practice suggests that there is something unreliable about the service or the creators of Always Weather simply do not feel the need to provide their clients with their approach to the clients. In any case, we recommend that you be careful with Always Weather. To display weather forecasts, the extension needs to identify your location. Additionally, some other information related to your interaction with the application is likely to be recorded. Some browsing behavior may be also recorded by Always Weather. It is very likely that some third parties have access to monitoring your browsing behavior, which is usually done to determine your preferences so that targeted advertisements can be delivered to you. By fully removing Always Weather from your computer and taking preventative measures you can browse the Internet safely.
