My weatherbug wasn't that bad. First i went to task manager and saw no weatherbug to kill process. Then I went to add or remove programs and deleted it and it was gone like that. I then clicked start and search and typed the word weatherbug and deleted them. Finally I went to start, Run, and typed msconfig and then I clicked start up and unchecked weatherbug and restarted my computer.

WeatherBug is removed like any other program- by exiting the program first (if you have an older version, the new version can still be running and uninstalled) and then going to add/remove programs and clicking WeatherBug. Note that after you click the 2 uninstall screens there is an OPTIONAL survey- if you have a pop-up blocker or certain firewalls, it may prevent the survey from opening. But by the time you get to the survey the program is removed. Close add/remove program window and reopen and it will be gone- my team and I test it every single day on multiple machines- dial up, broadband, etc.

If you have questions, either click the HELP button on your WeatherBug, click SUPPORT at our homepage www.weatherbug.com or email me at jay@weatherbug.com

thanks,
Jay, Manager, customer support team, WeatherBug

I went through the removal instructions and the program listing dissapered but every time I boot up the weather bug icon loads into the system tray. I can find nothing about effectively removing it from the system tray.
