Is Weatherbug a trojan?

I have heard that Weatherbug is spyware...I had it a few years ago and got rid of it because I was constantly spammed by someone called Stephanie who demanded to know why I wasn't using it more often. I repeated asked her to stop sending me email but it did no good.
I wonder if it has changed ...I haven't had it for about 4 years...

Does anyone know anything about Weatherbug?

 

Weatherbug isn't actually spyware. The free version does contain adware. I don't know if the download still has a toolbar option. If you want to install it just make sure the toolbar option is unchecked and never click on ads. Also use a pop-up blocker.

 

I use www.wundergound.com set to my zip code as one of my home pages. It has banner ads but nothing else. And for $10 a year you can get rid of the ads.

 

I also use wunderground. The ads don't bother me...I don't even notice them...a friend of mine pays only $5 a year for the ad free wunderground, not $10. I also use Weatherwatcher...I find these two much more reliable than the TV weather with its would be actors and the *sky is falling* hysteria...LOL...They can't use adjectives like hot or cold; they have to use frigid Arctic blast, and blazing hot Some of the announcers are not as bad as others but some think they are contending for an Oscar...

 

Up here in snow country New York I rely on http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ for my weather.

 

WeatherBug

Hi, I am CTO at WeatherBug. We have done a lot of new things in the past 4 years. We have listened to a lot of feedback and I think you will find we are very user-focused.

We are not just about a desktop download any more, although we still have lots of people using our desktop app. We now have a destination web site, and lots of widgets and gadgets you can get for Vista, Google, Firefox, whatever you like.

We have a couple blogs that we keep going.

Inside WeatherBug is the more fun/technical one that you should check out to see all the latest things going on if you are interested.

...if you have additional questions or comments and will do my best to answer any questions here as well.
