Panel Notes

Panel Notes is a Mac utility that is installed as an extension for your Web browser, and, unfortunately, it may bring more than what you bargained for. Users are likely to want to install Panel Notes because it promises to provide them with an easy way to create and maintain notes or reminders through their Web browser. However, on top of this, Panel Notes also may replace your browser's default settings, so that you will be redirected to a 3rd-party search site whenever you try to load a new tab or initiate a search through the address bar.

Software like Panel Notes is identified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). Such programs are not harmful, but they may end up introducing undesired changes to your system's settings. In the case of Panel Notes, you may be redirected to websites that you are not familiar with.

If your Mac's Web browser appears to load random pages instead of your favorite search engine or new tab page, then we advise you to run a Mac security scanner to make sure that there's no intrusive software running in the background.
