We do not claim that Weather Hub is totally useless. Yes, it displays the weather forecast, and users can find top buttons which lead to useful Web pages, it is but certainly not perfect. First and foremost, it was found that this browser extension changes the start page and the new-tab settings in Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, as soon as it is installed on the system.

The version you get in the bundles, differs from those that can be downloaded from Web-hub.com, in the sense that they have a folder in % ProgramFiles % (or %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%) drops and creates two new registry key in the system registry. All of these changes, providing they can be reversed only if you completely delete Weather Hub which shows that it is very important to delete this software.
