WeatherScope Description:

There is no difference between the licensed version and the ad-supported version. After our purchase, we found that c:/windows/temp/trickler4010_bic_gatorws_4010.exe was running. This trickler was added to the registry, so that it would run at reboot.

From the web site: 'Displays your current local temperature in the system tray of your computer (near the clock) whenever you are online! Provides one-click access to 3-day and 7-day forecasts Works for almost any city in the world! Uses the same data that over 750 newspapers use everyday'
