My Weather Service

Malware researchers have deemed the My Weather Service as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which changes the new tab function of the browsers it manages to affect to Search.searchmyws[dot]com. The My Weather Service may be installed with or without the user's knowledge, as part of software bundles on the Internet or from another source. In many cases, this kind of redirection is done with the goal of serving advertisements and generating revenue through traffic. The search page the My Weather Service redirects to is powered by the Yahoo Search so that it looks like that its main goal is to generate profits through its use.

Common symptoms of the presence of the My Weather Service include changes in the default homepage, search provider, new tab functionality and its presence as an extension or add-on to the affected browser. There's no danger in maintaining the My Weather Service on a computer. However, some users may not want to endure the changes and the excessive advertisements it displays. If this is the case, a good malware removal tool can remove the My Weather Service from their machines easily.
