Is everyone here sure that it is WeatherBug? I used to use it before it became heavy with addware. Even back then there was another program that was more of an infection and it had nothing to do with Weatherbug. I think the entry in Add or Remove Programs was "Weather Services" and that is what brought me here now. I have a friend's computer that is able to connect to the internet but only in safe mode. Which means that it has the ability so internet is up and running. Outside of safe mode the computer will boot and Windows will open but soon to be frozen as spyware loads in the background. This computer has "Weather Services" in Add or Remove programs but you can not remove it. Attempting to do so will cause the screen to flash sightly but other than that, nothing happens. You can do it as many times as you like and it just won't go away. This is not WeatheBug nor is it Weather Channel but some malicious program. I haven't fixed this one yet but when I do I will let you know. Unless of course, someone out there knows what i am looking for and can direct me to a place that will help.

What leads you to believe that anyone here can do that?

An interesting note regarding WeatherBug. I was asked to remove the WeatherBug software on a laptop at work. (FYI.. we have fairly tight security where I work, and our firewall doesn't allow most of our employees to access certain web sites that have been identified as a security risk). I opened "Add/Remove Programs" and located the MySearchBar and removed it. Then I located the WeatherBug and attempted to remove it. However, the uninstall tried to take me to the one of the WeatherBug web sites to locate some kind of file to complete the uninstall (of course I didn't write down the name of the file it was looking for). I'm wondering if the program was trying to report back to the WeatherBug "mother Ship" that we were trying to uninstall their software. Hmmmm? Laura :-)

I've done the Add/Remove drill several times, the program does not come up on the list which can be removed.What happens is every time I go to the weather page I used before, I end up in Weatherbug. I found what I think may be the link in the history file, www.kephyr.com. I tried to search on that but no search would take place, nothing at all happened. I need help!!!!!

Unfortunately, even a followed the instruction for removing the Weather bug, it didn't work. First of all, apparently it didn't even exists on my computer? Still, at startup, if I run ?msconf? it very much exists (twice even).

Is there a way to keep wether bug, but not allow it to install on start up, which slows things down? I've already tried unclicking the program under msconfig, but the very next time I use weather bug, it makes itself into a start up program. Any way to prevent this? Their FAQ page does not answer this question

Dear Leo-
thanks for the information on WeatherBug and helping to correct some of the misinformation that is out there about our product.

I'd like to suggest that if a customer has a question about WeatherBug (removing it or otherwise)- you can link directly to our FAQ page which answers most of the common questions, including how to uninstall, which of course is done the same way you uninstall any program, via add/remove programs in the control panel.

Our FAQ link is http://www.weatherbug.com/aws/support.html

and of course customers can also send us a support request by just clicking the HELP button on their WeatherBug. We are here 7 days a week and reply within 24 hours, most times far quicker.

Thanks! Jay Hoffman, Manager, WeatherBug customer support team
