About DesktopWeatherAlerts?

The Weather Alerts app is a software package that may contain potentially unwanted software. It is designed to integrate with the user's web browser and display advertisements. According to the Terms of Service, the software recognizes keywords from the user's internet browser to display relevant contextual advertisements. It may display these advertisements at any time while the user is searching and shopping online. The software does not store personally identifiable information or record browsing behavior. The installer for this software bundles various potentially unwanted software, such as toolbars and web browser extensions, using the Tuguu DomalQ download manager. Once installed, the software may display popup ads designed to resemble browser windows, prompting the user to update out-of-date software such as Internet Explorer.
