UPDATE: HTC Home 3.0 Beta Refresh version released which can be downloaded using this link. Thanks to our reader "soulcubee" for this update.
HTC Home Widget
HTC Home is a widget with a clock, weather forecast and realistic animation. You can watch clouds floating across your desktop, rain drops slide down your screen and even lightning striking here and there. The quality and accuracy of weather forecast are guaranteed by The Weather Channel and MSN and others.
HTC Home uses Windows 7 taskbar facilities to display actual weather at the taskbar without opening the program window. To find out what the weather outside is you just need to look at your taskbar!
It also implies a calendar, bookmarks, music player.
HTC Metro Home Widget
Metro Home is a special version of HTC Home with dynamic interface in the Metro style.
Both widgets can be installed in Windows Vista and 7 (other operation systems are not supported, although it might work with Windows XP).
Thanks to our reader "Shark" for sharing it...

HTC Home does not install, has a compilation error (C# line 5), since, as the Metro HTC Home, I received a warning from Zemana AntiLogger about an attempt to inject malicious code on the computer.

Doesn't work:
"Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\[snip]\Metro_Home\Widgets\WeatherClock\WeatherClock.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)"
Log file says something about loading from a network location and sandboxing in previous version of .NET Framework, which makes no sense. Not to mention the MetroHome Process stays running even after the error is dismissed. Runing as administrator does nothing to solve the problem, and all Windows Updates have bee applied. Could this have something to do with using Windows 7 x64?

Which company made this? Does it harm the PC?
