Panel Notes

The Panel Notes tool is a Web browser extension designed for Mac computers. The Panel Notes utility markets itself as a helpful tool that will enable users to save and manage notes via their Web browser easily. However, this is not all that the Panel Notes utility would do.

Malware experts have listed this application as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) that should be avoided by users. The goal of the Panel Notes Web browser extension is to change the settings of the user’s system. Legitimate Web browser add-ons would not go behind the back of the users to alter their settings, but shady extensions do not hesitate to do so. The Panel Notes extension would make sure to set up an affiliated website as the default new tab page of the Web browser. It is likely that the website associated with the Panel Notes utility hosts a basic search engine that will not provide users with the quality service that search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo do. The goal of the Panel Notes tool is to boost the traffic of the affiliated website by forcing users to run their searches via this basic engine.

If you have installed the Panel Notes tool on your Mac, it is advisable to remove it. This can be executed manually, or by using a reputable anti-malware application.
