StormWatch was created by the Weather Protector LLC company where it is known to be a questionable program that supposedly offers ways to view the weather and weather alerts on a Windows PC desktop. The StormWatch program may be loaded automatically by means of installing random freeware or bundled software applications from the internet. When loaded, StormWatch may then run in the background where it may render several advertisements or messages on the screen. Use of the ads generated from StormWatch may cause unwanted site redirects or loading of pages that have questionable content and offers. Stopping the activities of StormWatch may require complete removal of the StormWatch program and all of its components.
