The SysWeatherAlert software is promoted on Sysweatheralert.com as a desktop widget and search tool that can keep you updated on local and global weather reports during your online activity. The SysWeatherAlert program may be offered as a custom weather channel to users that install freeware setup files with the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' option. Unfortunately, the activity of the SysWeatherAlert software places it in the category of adware like Weather Grind and Weather Wizard. The SysWeatherAlert application may push marketing materials on your desktop via pop-up windows and offer users to purchase clothing and electronic devices from untrusted vendors. Moreover, the SysWeatherAlert adware may collect usage statistics that include your recently entered search terms on Google and Bing as well as your browsing history and software configuration.
The SysWeatherAlert adware may send unencrypted data packages via port 8080 and download corrupted updates that may include harmful software. The SysWeatherAlert adware is not developed with the idea of keeping the user safe in mind, and you may be suggested to visit potentially compromised pages. The ads powered by SysWeatherAlert may appear as banners on your favorite pages, and you may be invited to fill out a questionnaire every time you access an online store like Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart. Computer users that are infected with the SysWeatherAlert adware may see a desktop widget branded as SysWeatherAlert and be provided with information from the RSS-feeds of Accuweather.com and Yahoo.com. However, the SysWeatherAlert adware is not recognized as a legitimate partner of Yahoo Inc. and AccuWeather, Inc. and may provide users with links to phishing pages. You should remove the SysWeatherAlert adware. Security experts note that the best way to remove adware like SysWeatherAlert is to install a credible anti-spyware tool that can delete tracking cookies and residual binary.
