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.

very weird , if i open the link with kazaalite running i get a list of my downloads , i hasten to add that i have no illegal material , if i close kazzalite then the page can not be found , why dont i like this at all , if i remove the items from my shared folder then they disappear from the link if i refresh it , i guess it is spyware but i have run adaware and it said nothing about it

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).
