I got this program for my home computer about 2 years ago so I could get the weather in my area if you have a cable or DSL it always stays on by giving you the temp in the window near where it tells you what time it is on your computer. The best part about it is that you can set it so it will give you weather warning by flashing and making a chirping sound to warn you there is a new weather warning. It's a free download when I did it not sure if it still is but from the web site it still looks to be free. Check it out at weatherbug.com

I had it for awhile.  It is nice to have, BUT be aware of all the popups!

I think if pay the money for it you will stop getting the popups. I'm ok with it because I don't get that many.

Weatherbug is a crap program. It will suck your bandwidth and besides the popups will load spyware onto your machine. Avoid!
If you absolutely must have a weather program, use the one from the Weather Channel:

weatherbug is pure evil, now is the time to scramble and attempt to get it and its shady pidgeon-holed products off of your computer in vain. Then when it ruins your life at least you'll be able to get a brand new computer!
