Toppypop is advertised as an extension that allows users to navigate pages easier and move to the top from any part of the page with one click.

Ads by Toppypop might prompt users to leave their contact information and receive special offers and discounts; doing that may lead, in the best case, to the users getting spam. Toppypop also keeps records of the users’ Internet activity: pages viewed, search queries entered, software installed and so on. If you wish to delete Toppypop from your PC, please read the instructions below. READ MORE
