The Scroll To Top Adware tries to entice its potential users by offering them the ability to quickly get back to the top or bottom of any viewed page. Unfortunately for the users who may find such functionality a convenient thing to have, Scroll To Top Adware is far more concerned with monetizing its presence by generating unwanted and intrusive advertisements. The delivered advertisements could severely impact the user experience on the device.
Due to its behavior and characteristics, the Scroll To Top has been classified as an adware application. Furthermore, because it is mainly distributed via deceptive websites, the application also falls into the category of PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). PUPs are intrusive programs that often possess persistence mechanisms, which makes their complete removal from the system far more difficult.
In addition, the advertisements associated with these applications are often engaged in the promotion of dubious online destinations, such as hoax websites, phishing portals, suspicious adult pages, online casinos or gaming platforms, etc. The advertisements also may promote more PUPs masquerading as legitimate applications.
