Overview
Weather Gizmo is a software program developed by WeatherGizmo.com. It adds registry entry for the current user which will allow the program to automatically start each time it is rebooted. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The primary executable is named WeatherGizmo.exe. The setup package generally installs about 33 files and is usually about 4.81 MB (5,048,792 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows XP. While about 43% of users of Weather Gizmo come from Hungary, it is also popular in the United States and Austria.
