Re: Is AWS Weatherbug spyware?

Some consider WeatherBug to be spyware, but I don't. My wife's cousin had it on her computer when we visited recently, but I didn't say anything to her because I didn't think it serious or necessary to bother her about: she is a typical home user, not so security-savvy or concerned about such issues as we in the forum might be. Lots of folks like the WeatherBug service, which reports their local weather & forecast in realtime, showing the current temperature in the SysTray. JMHO .. HTH
