What is Easy Weather Today Promos?
Easy Weather Today Promos is rogue software endorsed as a tool for quick access to weather-related content and classified as adware. In fact, it operates by delivering intrusive advertisement campaigns. I.e., it delivers various unwanted and even harmful ads.
Additionally, Easy Weather Today Promos monitors users' browsing habits and gathers sensitive information relating to internet browsing. Due to the dubious methods employed to distribute this adware, it is also classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).
Adware enables the placement of pop-ups, banners, coupons, surveys and other intrusive advertisements, typically, on any visited website. Easy Weather Today Promos behaves in this manner as well. The delivered ads diminish the browsing experience, since they reduce browsing speed and limit website visibility (by overlaying web page content).
Since these ads can redirect to dubious sites and make stealthy downloads/installations, they are classified as a threat to device/user safety. To elaborate, when clicked, intrusive advertisements might redirect to sale-based/promotional (of both legitimate and dubious products), rogue/untrusted, compromised, deceptive, scam and malicious sites.
Furthermore, they can be triggered (when clicked) to execute scripts designed to download/install rogue software (e.g. PUAs) without users' consent.
As mentioned, Easy Weather Today Promos has data tracking capabilities. It can monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and collect vulnerable data extracted from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). Furthermore, the collected data often contains personally identifiable information, which PUA developers monetize.
They usually share and/or sell the data to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals), likewise seeking to misuse it for financial gain. In summary, the presence of unwanted apps such as Easy Weather Today Promos on devices can lead to system infections, financial loss, serious privacy issues and even identity theft.
Therefore, to ensure device integrity and user safety, you are strongly advised to remove all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

Free Package Tracker Plus, MessengerHub and Damn Good Recipe Promos are some examples of other adware. They appear normal and innocuous. Users are enticed into download/installation with offers of various "useful" functions, however, the promised functionality rarely work as advertised and, in most cases, they do not work at all.
In fact, this information is accurate of most PUAs. Unwanted apps have just one purpose - to generate profit for the developers. Rather than delivering any real value, PUAs can run intrusive ad campaigns, force-open untrusted and malicious web pages, hijack browsers and track private data.
How did Easy Weather Today Promos install on my computer?
Some PUAs (including Easy Weather Today Promos) have "official" promotional pages from which they can be downloaded, however, these applications are more commonly downloaded/installed together with other programs. This false marketing technique of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is termed "bundling".
Rushing download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, etc.) increases the risk of unintentionally allowing dubious and/or bundled content into the system. Intrusive advertisements proliferate these apps as well. Once clicked, they can execute scripts to stealthily download/install PUAs.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
All products should be researched to verify their legitimacy, prior to download/installation and/or purchase. You are advised to use only official and trustworthy download channels.
Unofficial and free file-hosting (freeware) websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule, etc.) and other third party downloaders can offer deceptive and bundled content, and are thus untrusted.
When downloading/installing, read the terms, study all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of supplementary apps, tools, features and other additions. It is also important to exercise caution when browsing. Intrusive ads may seem legitimate, however they can redirect to highly dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).
If you encounter advertisements and/or redirects of this kind, inspect the system and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with Easy Weather Today Promos, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this adware.
