"The user in your scenario can't be bothered to go to a website to get the weather, so you might want to try finding another weather tray tool. I don't know of any off the top of my head but there have to be several out there."

Weather Watcher comes in a freeware version and an ad-supported version. Neither contains actual spyware.

If your users would still like the weather in the system tray, here is a great Spyware-free alternative to WeatherBug: Weatherwatcher.

You might consider replacing it with this app, which SO FAR seems to be spyware free:

WeatherWatcher is what I use. It's a lightweight piece of donationware that free from both adware and spyware.

Get, Weather Watcher.

No ads, no spyware, just works, and works well.

http://www.singerscreations.com/AboutWeatherWatche r.asp Weather Watcher is far better. Try it - it's fantastic. No ads, no nagging. The author accepts donations.

I've had excellent success with Weather Watcher. It sits in the toolbar showing the temperature, has a large number of handy display options, has a common sense radar map system, uses a beautiful forecast layout, can show the radar as your desktop background, and pops up any severe weather alerts. His update software sometimes botches and requires a complete program reinstall, but outside of that minor glitch, it is a top notch program that I run on all of my Windows boxes.

Guess we better let OpenOffice.org and Star Office know right away!

I recommend Weather Watcher if you'd like a system tray weather icon. It's free (beer), spyware-free, lightweight and does everything I'd want it to do.
