StormWatch is an adware, specially designed to display advertising when used. An adware usually contains a “useful” part and a part that handles the ad displaying. Here, the useful part is described as a program that will alert you if a storm is expected in your area.
StormWatch has an official website where you can download this application. However, people do not prefer this way of download.
Actually, StormWatch is offered in a bundle with other downloaded programs that can be:
- Downloaded applications from platforms like softonic or 01net
- False plugin updates (Java, Flash) or false software updates (Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer)
- Fake programs (fake video readers, fake codec etc.)
Even though this application seems to be interesting, the “useful” part exists just to justify the ad displaying from StormWatch. You should always remember that if a program is spread by false updates, it’s never a good sign. That’s why expert companies in security such as Malwarebytes detect this kind of programs.
In order to remove StormWatch from your computer, you may follow the free procedure below.
