ToppyPop is an ad-supported browser extension that generates advertisements and may affect the browser’s performance.
This is what the official description says (from toppypop.net):
→ToppyPop provides you with a much easier & comfortable way to browse the web. Great for viewing long/infinite pages, refreshing and more without using your browser top navigation menu.
The application is promoted on the official website. However, we couldn’t find a way to download it from there. Thus, ToppyPop is likely distributed via the bundling method. This means that the extension may have been included in the packages of freeware products.
What Should I know about Bundling?
Bundling is a legal method of distribution. When a product is being bundled with another product, their agreement is typically described in the Download Agreement, EULA or Terms of Use. Nonetheless, it is in the hands of the user to go through these documents and acquaint with the terms. Bundled products are often given as ‘recommended’. To get the chance to choose what is downloaded onto your system, you should always opt for the custom/advanced installer.
NOTE
Silent and unattended bundles can also take place. In order to stop unknown software from downloading onto your PC, you should sustain a strong AV program. Also, you can enable the Windows Firewall, and enhance your browser Security settings.
Should I Remove ToppyPop?
ToppyPop is not a malicious application. However, it can flood the browser with intrusive advertisements. Adware is also known to employ tracking technologies and gather information from users.
This is an excerpt from the Terms of Services of ToppyPop regarding its Third party policy:
→Third Party Advertisements and Links; The Extension and the Services are sponsored by third party advertisements and commercial offers and may also contain links to third parties websites, advertisements, products, offers, applications and more (“Third Party Content”). By downloading and using the Extension you give your consent to display to you such Third Party Content (by using display ads, pops, coupons, price comparison, in-line text and content recommendations) through Our or Our business partners’ technology.
This is an excerpt from the Privacy Policy regarding the usage of tracking technologies:
→When you install the Software and use the Services, We may collect and retain the stated information by using several technical modules. Such modules may include using your system’s reports to our servers as part of the installation process or as part of the advertisements may displayed to you, or by storing a cookie and pixel tag on your computer to help us better understand your online behavior and preferences.
If you do not wish to be prone to third party content that may be suspicious, you should remove the application. Additionally, using a system scanner to determine if it is malware-free is also recommended.
