The Weatherping software is advertised as a desktop widget that can help users decide whether to take an umbrella today or not accurately as well as access weather reports for locations all over the globe. Computer users can install the Weatherping software by downloading it from Weatherping.com or may install it with many freeware bundles that can be downloaded from the Web.

The Weatherping adware may read your browsing history logs to show coupons and discounts when you visit Walmart, eBay and Amazon. Also, the Weatherping adware may slow down your Web browser and welcome you to install riskware such as TornPlusTV and VuuPC that may crash your browser. The commercials powered by the Weatherping adware may not be safe, and you may be redirected to sites like BarDiscover.com and GlkSoft.com that are associated with browser hijackers. Computer users that are infected with the Weatherping are not advised to click on sponsored search results displayed by the Weatherping adware.
