Top-That Removal Guide

Top-That is one of those fake browsing improving programs that you get from bundled software. We have tested this suspicious program and have categorized it as adware, because its main task is to subject you to third-party advertisements so that its developers could get paid. This program comes bundled, but it has a promotional website which states that this program is “Great for viewing long/infinite pages, refreshing and more without using your browser top navigation menu.” We are not sure how this thing should work, but, regardless, this program does not have this function. All you will be able to see is commercial content. Its advertisements are apt to be misleading and fake so we do not suggest keeping Top-That.

Top-That is actually part of a long lineage of adware programs. It is part of the so-called Lyrics adware family. Some of its older members include: Best Online Deals, Look Forword, Zorable, and so on. The reason why adware developers release clone programs is simple: constantly updated antimalware scanners shut the door for adware. Therefore, the developers make slight changes to a program so that it could not be removed. However, diligent antimalware developers quickly pick up new clones and include them in a program’s removal database.

We mentioned that this program is promoted on its dedicated website. However, this website does not feature Top-That’s download. Its developers have decided to turn to software bundling in an effort to disseminate this program as widely as possible. Top-That may come as a clandestine addition to a software bundle that you may accidentally install. If you want to avoid installing this program and other adware try not to download software from unreliable third-party sources.

Now let us discuss how this program actually works. As mentioned, its proclaimed function is non-existent as this program’s only purpose is to display commercial ads and make money for its developers. Top-That is set to display the typical coupons, pop-ups, and in-texts, among other kinds of ads. There is nothing special about the way it presents the ads. We are worried, because the ads are supplied by third parties and Top-That’s developers do not endorse the promoted content. Such negligence can be the results in promotions of unreliable software that can compromise your computer’s security. Furthermore, this program can be used to gather information about its users in a bid to increase advertising revenue. It is able to automatically collect non-personally identifiable information, such as your Internet Protocol address, default search engine, system specifications, and so on.

So overall, Top-That is bad news. We are in favor of removing this useless program, because it will not do you any good. Its promoted content can be legitimate one day and malicious the next. It developers only care about making money. But you should care about your computer’s security so we advise that you remove Top-That and get yourself an antimalware scanner so that programs such as this one could not intimidate you.
