It is ad/spyware. It is bundled with some p2p programs. I think it is supposed to give you a wheather forecast, as an excuse for showing you ads.

But you haven't actually installed wheathercast have you?
It does sound very weird...
btw: I was not referring to kazaalite when I mentioned it being bundled with some p2p applications.

I don't think that is necessary. Try rebooting first. I've had to install it a couple of time as it was bundled, and it comes with an uninstall option that works (and was is tied down by zonealarm anyway).
