MyFreeWeather for Windows by MicroSmarts LLC was given 5 Stars in only one category by SharewareJunkies.com reviewer John Shaw. He reprts the installation of MyFreeWeather is a pain. Here are the offers to install you get during the installation, WYYO (targeted search), Registry Power Cleaner, PC Confidential, then at the end icons for offers and at last you can make My.Freeze.com your Homepage. At the very end of the installation it tried to send me to register.freeze.com. The good news after going through all of that installation crap the weather interface is very good. His conclusion is you are going to have to make your own mind whether it is worth going through the installation hassle to get MyFreeWeather for free. in the end he thinks it may have been worth it.
