WindoWeather is the given name of an ad injector that is distributed via install programs for freeware found in certain websites. This technique allows programs that no sensible person will ever install by choice to be widely distributed.
WindoWeather’s goal is quite simple, to show the biggest amount of ads while you surf the Internet. To achieve this goal it won’t waste any time beating around the bushes, this adware goes directly after the code source of every website you visit, modifying it to insert its ads, specially e-commerce websites like Amazon. WindoWeather also acts as a spyware because it spies on your every move online…
These ads are inserted by WindoWeather on real time, which results in many execution bugs and ruining the visual look of anything showing up on your screen.
Usually these ads are labeled or tagged as Ads by WindoWeather or Powered by WindoWeather.
As told before, if you have been infected with WindoWeather there are no more secrets about your browsing activity for its creator, because this infection collects data about you like your OS version, information about your browser, every website you visit, keywords you use on your searches, your IP address, geographical location, and other data that could be used to identify you.
WindoWeather as most adware, is installed at the same time as some free software, mostly we’re talking about fake video players found in streaming websites, fake updates for Java or Flash, and/or it’s found on install programs offered by websites like soft32.com, download.com, softonic.com as they win a commission for including them in their downloads. Every successful install gives them a commission.
Even though WindoWeather has its own official website, it’s impossible to download it there. Surely this website was only built to give the user the sense that this is a legitimate software, plus they have a place to publish their conditions of use.
