Check Weather is the nth weathercast providing application for which weather information is just a camouflage. The program does give you such information but this is not all it was created for. Check Weather is an adware infection. It tricks you into keeping it on board by making you believe it’s useful and harmless. Unfortunately, it is not. As we said, the weathercast providing feature is just a facade. The adware does a lot more. It makes a mess of your browsing experience. You better act against it immediately.

This utility is used by hackers to boost web traffic to particular pages, thus gaining pay-per-click revenue, as well as spreading malicious content online. If you decide to keep this pest, prepare for tons of issues. But experts strongly recommend against that. And so do we. The adware has no place in your system. It will never be beneficial to you in any sort of way. In fact, the more time it spends on board, the more problematic it becomes. That is unless you do something to stop it. It this situation, stopping it equals deleting it. Do that. The sooner the adware is gone from your machine, the better. Don’t procrastinate. Time is not your friend.

The adware, following a successful installation, appends its pesky plugin to each one of your browsers. This extension will not enhance your online activities. It will ruin them. From the moment it gets appended, you start suffering constant interruptions. Surfing the web at peace becomes an impossible tab. You get redirected to shady pages at every turn. Additional tabs open all the time. Pages take ages to load. Your browsers struggle to display content correctly. And, you are also buried with tons of annoying, potentially dangerous commercials.
