The Weather Center New Tab

Posted: August 11, 2016

The Weather Center New Tab is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) developed and distributed by Safer Browser. This program is installed as a browser extension, and its purpose is to provide users with up-to-date information about the weather in their area, weather forecast, storm alerts, and other weather-related information. However, all of these particulars are available for free on the Web, and you can discover it by performing a quick Google Search. This renders The Weather Center New Tab program useless and gives you at least one good reason to consider its removal. Maybe, The Weather Center New Tab wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the other changes that this software may bring. When users install this application, it may change their Chrome New Tab page to http://query.theweathercenter.co, a low-quality search engine linked to Safer Browser automatically.

Using either the Weather Center New Tab extension or the http://query.theweathercenter.co website is safe, but there's no reason for you to remain using either of these services. Since The Weather Center New Tab is identified as a PUP and it doesn't offer any valuable features, it will not be a bad decision to remove this application from your computer. The removal of The Weather Center New Tab can be performed via Google Chrome's extension settings or by a good anti-malware tool.
