  • Category Description: Program that delivers advertisements on your PC.

    Note that many websites have their own advertising, unrelated to adware.

    Adware is any software application in which advertising is displayed while the program is running. The authors of these applications include additional code that delivers the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen and sometimes through text links or in integrated search results. Adware may or may not track personal information. It may also gather information anonymously or in aggregate only. Users should check the EULA and Privacy policy to ensure if the adware on their machines conforms to their standards.
    Official Description: WeatherCast is a free software application that provides continuous access to your local weather directly from your system tray ? with instant access to a detailed 5-day forecast, as well as maps and radar images.

    WeatherCast features include:

    * Current temperature, wind speed, humidity, wind chill, UV index, and heat index
    * 5-day forecast for all major U.S. and cities
    * 48-hour detailed forecast
    * U.S. and worldwide radar images

    Note: WhenU has made changes in distribution practices and to our knowledge no longer uses third parties or bundling to distribute their application. Distribution appears to be in-house only and bundles only contain WhenU products. Research shows that WhenU now makes it clear that advertising will be shown in the End-User License Agreement (EULA)
