Beware: Weather Desktop slows down your computer

It is great to check out the weather all the time by having a weather software installed.  However, this type of software is constantly looking for the temperature every second and can really slow down your overall computer performance.  If you’re not sure what this software is, it is the one that pops up the temperature for the preferred city of your choice.

Why does it slow down your computer?  Like a mapping software, this weather program syncs with nearby satellites to determine the temperature for the day as well as week.  It may also sync up with other weather sites for accurate forecasts.

Also, it has been shown that this weather desktop application can possibly bring about spyware and popups.  It’s a free program, and as like other free stuff on the Internet, spyware is sure to follow eventually.  So, next time you’re looking for the weekend forecast, check out NY1 or you can even check out NBC Online for real-time weather info.  You can pop in your address or zip code and always track your weather by marking this preference as a favorite.
