❓ FAQ

How does Smoothed Scroll work?

Smoothed Scroll works by intercepting the scroll events in Windows applications and applying a smoothing algorithm to them. This allows for a more fluid scrolling experience compared to the default behavior. The program runs in the background and can be configured to adjust the scrolling speed and behavior according to user preferences.

Why do antivirus programs block Smoothed Scroll?

Antivirus software may flag Smoothed Scroll as a potential threat due to its use of Nuitka for building the executable. Nuitka compiles Python code into standalone executables, which can sometimes resemble the behavior of malicious software. This is a common occurrence with many legitimate applications that use similar techniques. If you encounter such a warning, you can usually add an exception in your antivirus settings to allow Smoothed Scroll to run.
