Always Weather

Always Weather is a browser application for Chrome enabling users to see details about current weather and a forecast for 5 upcoming days. The application identifies your location and provides relevant information in a drop-down menu whenever you feel the need to check the weather before leaving. However, this seemingly useful application is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP), which means that it can arrive at your PC unexpectedly and modify your browser settings without your permission or with little information about the changes that are about to take place. Due to the fact that the Always Weather is distributed in this way and some other reasons that are discussed further, security experts recommend removing it from the browser. For more information about how to remove the unwanted browser extension, move down to the very bottom to find our removal guide.

Always Weather is a free browser extension that is promoted like any other reliable program on its official website alwaysweather.net. However, observant users should notice that the website lacks some conventional sections such as EULA, terms of use, or privacy policy, which implies that there is something questionable about the application and the people behind it. Like many other extensions supporting only the Chrome browser, Always Weather has been available in the Chrome Web Store, where a great variety of browser extensions are promoted. At the moment of writing, the application is inaccessible, but that does not chance much since Always Weather is bundled with freeware and distributed as an additional program.

As mentions above, the Always Weather extension can be installed alongside other software. For this reason, it is necessary that you pay close attention to every software installation process. If you are provided with an option to not install some unknown program, you should take that option unless you want to see what the consequences of installation will be. However, sometimes this practice may be insufficient, which means that not all additional programs are presented to you during installation. To prevent this from happening, it is advisable to keep the system protected by a reliable security tool.

Once installed, the Always Weather might display third-party advertisements, the content of which may vary greatly depending on the issuer of the ad. Advertisements vary in types and sizes, and the way they are displayed differ. For example, some advertisements may be displayed under the browsing window, which is usually referred to as pop-unders. Such advertisements are usually noticed later than regular pop-ups, but their display may be very annoying. It is important to note that ad-supported programs, or rather their developers, are usually not associated with entities displaying those ads. Those free programs function only as a platform for advertisement distribution, and you should be aware of the fact that some ads may be ill-purposed. You might encounter compromised ads aimed at infecting your computer with a malicious program, which usually leads to data theft, or obtaining your valuable information directly from you. Throughout the process of your analysis of this application at pcthreat.com, no advertisements were encountered, but that does not change the fact that you should be careful with programs that seem to appear on your computer out of nowhere.

If you want to browse the Internet as usual, you should make sure that you are not being monitored by questionable third parties. Since the application needs to identify your location to function as intended, some other technical characteristics and your interaction with the application are likely to be recorded. Software developers need to know whether their product is beneficial or not, so they monitor users' preference so that they can enhance the product and the user's overall experience with their product. If you do not want to be analysed by Always Weather, remove it from the browser and take preventive measures so that you do not have to experience something similar or more serious in the future.
