By GoldSparrow in Adware, Mac Malware

There are numerous adware programs that are designed for Mac computers specifically. Among them is the PanelStyle tool.
This application may end up on your Mac via fake software updates. Many Mac users report having stumbled upon an update for ‘Flash Player’ seemingly out of the blue. When they tried to apply the update, they ended up installing an adware program instead. Adware utilities like the PanelStyle applications also are known to come in freeware bundles. The PanelStyle adware program is likely to riddle the websites you visit with unwanted and irrelevant advertisements. The advertisements delivered by the PanelStyle application are injected on every website you would visit. The PanelStyle adware utility is known to spawn advertisements in a variety of shapes such as:

  • Flashing banners.
  • Pop-up windows.
  • Hyperlinks in text.
  • Annoying alerts.

Adware applications tend to work in cooperation with dodgy advertisement networks, so the advertisements displayed by the PanelStyle utility may promote unsafe products and services.

If you suspect that you may have installed adware on your Mac computer, you should scan your system with the help of a legitimate anti-virus solution. Since adware utilities are often tricky to remove manually, the security tool in question would help you locate and remove it safely.
