How did the plug-in infect your device
To put in simply, these types of add-ons spread via freeware. Of course, you might also download them from browser stores or official pages as well. But generally, they are added as optional items that install automatically together with the freeware, unless you don’t let them. And you selecting to use Default settings when setting up freeware basically gives them the necessary authorization for setup. Only Advanced or Custom mode will permit you to inspect for attached offers, so always opt for those settings. If you notice something attached, unmark it/them. Your system might become exposed to all kinds of undesirable software if you are not careful. You’re recommended to terminate WeatherTab, as you most likely set it up accidentally.
Why is WeatherTab termination needed
We don’t recommend you to allow the plug-in to stay as it will be useless to you. The main reason these questionable add-ons are even designed is to lead you to sponsored web pages and to display you ads, making the owners money. If this add-on installs into your computer, it might change your browser’s settings and set its sponsored web page as your homepage, new tabs and search engine. Every time you launch your browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome), you may be redirected to that website. And if you try to undoing the modifications, the extension will prevent you from doing it, which means you need to first uninstall WeatherTab. The extension will also attach additional toolbars to your browser and big numbers of advertisements will be shown on your screen. While mostly these plug-ins prefer Google Chrome, your might come across them on your other browsers as well. The plug-in could expose you to not safe content, which is why we don’t advise using it. It should be said that those extensions may lead to a malware contamination, even though they are not classified as malware themselves. You need abolish WeatherTab in order to dodge more trouble.
