SevereWeatherCheck

The SevereWeatherCheck add-on is marked as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by multiple security product vendors. Software of this sort is not considered to be unsafe, but it might often bring unexpected changes to your Web browser’s behavior. In the case of the SevereWeatherCheck, the users might notice that their default new tab page has been replaced by Severeweathercheck.com/homepage. While this Web page is safe to use and works as a search engine reliably, you should not expect this to go on for long since neither the website nor the SevereWeatherCheck extension are linked to a reputable software vendor. Naturally, this means that their functionality is subject to change at any time.

If you wish to access a weather widget that can enhance your Web browser, then you should know that the SevereWeatherCheck might not be the finest choice due to the side effects its installation is known to have. Of course, if you do not mind using software that forces you to use an alternative new tab page, then you should know that using SevereWeatherCheck is safe perfectly. However, if you oppose software like this and wish to revert the changes that the SevereWeatherCheck add-on brought, then you should proceed to remove it either manually or with the assistance of an up-to-date PC security product.

To get rid of such problems in the future, the suggestion is that you take a closer look at the permissions that browser add-ons request when you attempt to install them. In general, it is recommended to stay away from extensions that require permission to manipulate the new tab page, default search engine or homepage.
