Toppypop

By CagedTech in Adware

The Toppypop program is advertised on Toppypop.net as a browser enhancer that is supposed to 'provide you with a much easier and comfortable way to browse the web.' The Toppypop program may allow users to scroll pages like a PDF file and not loose track of the top navigation menu. The Toppypop may bring an improved display of responsive pages that leading news outlets like Bbc.co.uk and Nytimes.com have. However, the Toppypop program is classified as adware because it is reported to show many ads on non-affiliated pages and welcome users to provide contact details like their phone numbers, email addresses, and P.O. Boxes with the promise to receive exclusive offers and discounts. The functionality that comes with the Toppypop is not revolutionary and may not provide users with features that are not accessible on responsive pages already. Security experts note that the Toppypop adware may travel bundled with programs like HQvidPv and Infonaut.

The Toppypop adware may appear as a browser add-on, extension, plug-in, and Browser Helper Object depending on what browser you are using. The Toppypop adware is deployed without proper security measures and may prevent users from loading protected content and online banking portals. Needless to say, it is not a good idea to open your banking account while the Toppypop adware is affecting your PC. The ads by the Toppypop adware may feature links to compromised pages that host cyber threats like Telax and Snifula. The Toppypop adware may track what links you open and read the Meta tags of pages you browse for more than two minutes. The Toppypop is designed to engage in behavioral marketing by creating a unique advertising profile based on your recently visited pages and search terms on Google. Security experts reveal that the Toppypop adware may use JavaScript to inject ads on non-affiliated pages, and extensions like Adblock, Adguard, and Privacy Badger may fail in their mission to hide ads. A reliable anti-spyware instrument can find and delete the components of the Toppypop adware safely.
