It is all the same what kind of extension you are eager to install, it can be the security vulnerability for the browser. WeatherTab is not an exclusion. All software vendors produce security patches and worry about the safety of their users. But if you install any extension, then software companies cannot ensure that your PC will not be infected. Hackers can open the browser extension as it were a gate to your PC. No doubt there is a good effort to escape from this situation: download browser add-ons from well-known and trustworthy vendors only. But is not 100% protection from hackers and computer threats. I advise not to install browser extensions at all.

But if you still are eager to install one or another add-on so you should be prepared that the program will have compliance to record your private information that you leave on different web pages and can give it to the third person. You should realize that to download a browser extension is like installing a program. Will you download a program if its vendor is untrustworthy? I advise you not to. So, you also should be careful downloading the browser add-on that you are eager to install.

WeatherTab, as a promotional extension, is more dangerous, because you cannot be certain that the popping-up advertising information is true and that the web address that is mentioned in the announcement is safe. If you are eager to have WeatherTab or any other add-on that displays you special deals then be ready that it is able to swindle you.

WeatherTab like all other adware programs has a few main symptoms that will help you to detect if your computer is infected with it or not. Here is the list of them:

• Many pop-ups shown by WeatherTab
• Very slow computer
• Antivirus program finds some dangers
• Changes in your browser (toolbars, homepage, search engine)
• Search results are hijacked
• WeatherTab adds its files, DIRS and registry keys

Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?

You should know that manual removal instructions that remove WeatherTab from browsers are absolutely safe and you can perform them not being afraid that you harm your PC. Also the ways of removal are very effective, so you will reach the aim and the browser add-on will be removed with all its manifestations. It is an easy method as well; it yields merely to the automatic way of removal. But occasionally, using this method users are surprised that the adware is installed again in the browser and they need to fulfill any other techniques to remove it.

But there is another manual removal method where you should remove folders and registry entries. The way of removal is safe in situation if you can follow it carefully or commit it to the experienced person who knows what and why should be done. In order to make this process more secure you should create the backup of the registry. You should remember that only the enumerated parts of the program should be removed and no one more otherwise your computer will not work. If you do not understand what registry key is and where it should be placed, then you are welcome to use automatic way of removal in order not to break your computer.

But the most effective and the safest method is automatic. Using any antimalware software that includes WeatherTab in its signature base, you will delete the undesired browser extension more quick and the virus will not annoy you any more for the antimalware utility will defend your PC in future.

Concerning the sums of money that users may spend on the virus removal I should say that some removal techniques are 100% free, for example manual removal from browsers, manual professional removal (if you will do it by yourselves), free antivirus software and the removal from Control Panel. But not all of them are effective. The information about the effectiveness of these uninstall techniques I describe in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’, you can see it below. Speaking about the paid techniques of virus removal, I should list the Computer Repair Shop Service and paid Antivirus program.

These methods are the most forceful. In spite of the great distinction in the price (Repair Shop service depends on the complexity of the issue and may cost up to $300, but paid antivirus costs up to $60) these removal ways are almost equal in the effectiveness and in the results. I should also mention that paid antiviruses always has support service (often for free) that will solve your problem like in an expensive computer repair shop.
