Each time you attempt to browse the web, you’ll be interrupted by endless waterfalls of pop-up ads. It won’t take long before these continuous interruptions lead to more issues. Due to the incessant bombardment of ads, your system will crash frequently, and your computer will slow down, and you’ll also be faced with a malware threat. As if that’s not enough, your personal and financial information will be at risk since the nasty tool is programmed to spy on you, steal data, and then send it to the strangers behind it. That hardly sounds like an experience that will end well for you, doesn’t it? Are you convinced now? Weather Alert is a useless, unreliable, harmful tool, and you should delete it immediately.

How did I get infected with?

Weather Alert doesn’t differ from all the other adware application in its sneakiness. The tool isn’t shy about using every trick in the book so as to fool you and invade your system. It’s quite resourceful when it comes to finding a way in, and it usually turns to the old but gold methods of infiltration to do so. And, they not only help it slither in but also manage to keep you oblivious to its existence. Oh, yes. Until the PUP decides to reveal itself to you, you have no idea, it’s residing on your PC. That’s the level of its deception. More often than not, the application enters undetected by hiding behind freeware or spam email attachments, corrupted links or websites. It can pretend to be a bogus update, as well. Infections, like Weather Alert prey on your distraction, naivety, and haste. So, don’t rush, don’t throw caution to the wind, and always do your due diligence. Carelessness is your worst enemy. Don’t provide it. Even a little extra attention can save you a ton of troubles. That’s a lesson, worth remembering.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Adware can be quite obnoxious and annoying. And, if you’re ‘graced’ by its presence, you’ll quickly come to be certain of it. Such applications are highly intrusive as they continuously meddle with your browsing, mess up your system on a day-to-day basis, and throw issues your way incessantly. It is not a pleasant experience, to say the least. Weather Alert is no different. It’s just like any other adware program out there. First, it makes its way into your PC, and quite deceptively so, and then proceeds to make an utter mess. First, it intrudes on your online activities by throwing pop-up advertisements your way every time you try to browse the web. Then, because of this constant disruption, you’ll begin to experience further nuisances. Your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl, and your system will crash frequently. And, as was already mentioned, on top of these unpleasantries, you’ll also be faced with both a malware and a security risk. The malware threat derives from the pop-ups. They’re highly unreliable and bundled with malicious applications. Every time you click on an ad, by choice or accident, you end up agreeing to install the malevolent tools, using the pop-up as a shield to hide behind. So, unless you wish to flood your PC with more unwanted infections, do your best NOT to click on the ever-present ads! As for the security issue, it’s a different story. The Weather Alert application is designed to spy on you from the moment it settles on your computer. It keeps track of your every online move and thoroughly catalogs it. When it determines it has gathered enough data from you, it sends it to the third parties that published it. After these unknown individuals have it, they’re free to use it as they wish, and you can’t stop them. Does that seem like a risk, you’re willing to take? And, for such a worthless, harmful program? Despite its grand claims of assistance, in its essence, Weather Alert is useless. It may try to convince you that it’s helpful because it’s keeping you ‘alert, aware and prepared’ on the weather situation at your location, but it’s not worth it. Even if it’s the most accurate weather forecast application, it’s not worth enduring even all of the other problems it places on you. Follow experts’ advice, and delete it at once. It’s for the best.
