My Weather Service

Posted: June 7, 2018

The My Weather Service extension is available for Google Chrome users, and it is being offered by Polarity Technologies LTD currently, a software developer whose name is linked to a wide variety of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) whose installation might often be accompanied by undesired side effects. In the case of the My Weather Service, its users are likely to experience an unwelcomed change, which concerns their Web browser's default new tab page. When this add-on is being installed, it demands permission to set Search.searchmyws.com as the browser's default new tab, and while this change is not unsafe, it may certainly have an adverse impact on the user's Web browsing experience.

The new tab that My Weather Service promotes does provide you with information about the local weather, as well as links to popular online weather services. While this is somewhat useful, all of this information is available online for free, and most websites would provide you with it without asking you to install dubious 3rd-party applications like My Weather Service.

If you are satisfied with the service that My Weather Service provides, then you should know that there is no problem if you opt to continue using this add-on. However, if you are not happy with the quality of My Weather Service's features or the fact that it tampers with your browser's configuration, then we advise you to take care of its removal by using a trustworthy PC security scanner.
