All kinds of ads. All the time. As you could imagine, seeing useless commercials on a daily basis could be incredibly annoying. At the least, you will be wasting your time dealing with these pop-ups.

Hence, you can’t afford to let its developers deceive you. Weather Chick’n is supposed to provide you accurate weather forecasts when in reality it provides you malware.

Hackers now have free access to passwords, email addresses, usernames, etc. However, if you’re particularly unfortunate, crooks may get hold of some personally identifiable data. Nothing, including your bank account information, is safe. This way, the seemingly harmless Weather Chick’n may result in a financial fraud or identity theft.

How did I get infected with?

The virus might have entered your PC via a corrupted software bundle. Have you recently downloaded such program packages? Then it’s very likely the adware was also included in the bundle. In the future, always make sure you’re perfectly aware what programs you download off of the Internet. Pay extra close attention if the bundle comes for free. Opting for the Advanced or Custom option in the Setup Wizard may easily help you protect your PC. Skipping installation steps, on the other hand, does the exact opposite. If you rush through the installation process, you practically end up leaving the machine vulnerable to malware. Our advice is to always take your time. Trust us when we say, preventing virus infiltration is much less of a hassle than removing a parasite later on. In addition, many malicious programs travel the Web via third-party pop-ups, spam messages, spam emails, etc. Long story short, there are numerous infections online. It’s your responsibility and yours only to protect your security.

Why are these ads dangerous?

There’s no way commercials generated by a PC virus could be safe. The Weather Chick’n ads were never really meant to help you save time or money while shopping online. They were only meant to help greedy hackers gain revenue. As already mentioned, this program modifies your browser settings. Weather Chick’n’s nasty browser add-on works with some of the most popular browsers out there. Yes, that includes Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Now that you can’t get rid of commercials, browsing the Web is, to say the least, rather problematic. Banners, interstitials, pop-ups, pop-unders, video ads, random coupons, discounts, product offers, product deals, price comparisons, “best prices”, etc. Weather Chick’n offers all of that and much more. What these commercials have in common is the fact they are equally dangerous and stubborn (not to mention, worthless). Don’t waste time.
