Nilla Weather
If you wish to access the latest weathercast for your location, you might decide that installing Nilla Weather is a good idea. Our researchers do not agree with that. This extension might appear to be quite beneficial, but the reality is that it is not transparent and that its services might be camouflaging less desirable activity. The only good thing about this PUP (potentially unwanted program) is that it adds a button, which, when clicked, shows a weather forecast.
