Help with Weatherbug

Every time I reboot or shut down and start up later my weatherbug gets wiped out and I have to re-install. Any suggestions?

Since Weatherbug is generally considered spyware, it is probably being taken
out by your security software. This is just a guess of course since you've
told us nothing about your computer and/or security software. When
troubleshooting, it's also good to know what changed between the the time
things worked and the time they didn't.

Personally, I'd just look into using something else for weather. The
Forecast Fox extension for Firefox is very good.

No...No...No.
Don't encourage people to use "weather gadgets" on a PC.

Pull open the curtains, part the drapes, pull up the blinds...and stick your friggin head out the window.

If its cold, your nose will turn red.
If its hot, you'll sweat.
If its raining, your head will get wet.

Weather gadget !

Why not install a gadget that says "If you can see this, you are sitting at the PC"
