Does Weatherbug carry viruses and trojans in scripts?
My Weatherbug quit working last week. Every time it tried to start, it
wouldn't, so I deleted it.
And my PC ( Win 7 ) was acting sluggish for awhile.
So today I ran a full scan with Avast!, and it found a few infected files,
then suggested running a boot scan on everything. It found 21 infected files
in all.
I've had Avast! for years and thought it prevented this kind of thing from
even happening, but at least it caught them today and my PC runs fast again
now.
But, could Weatherbug be the source of these infections? It keeps hanging up
on running all kinds of scripts. Are these infections that are being shut
down by Avast! ?
