What is Panel To Shop?

Panel To Shop injects ads and redirects searches

Panel To Shop is a little browser add-on that promises to help you save time and make shopping easier. It does this by checking your search queries with Paneltoshop.icu and, if it finds relevant ads, showing those advertisements above your search results.

Users who install Panel To Shop see these effects:

• Ads appear above search results on Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
• Sometimes, search results appear on Bing.com despite it not being your default search engine.
• Qualitychecker.net might pop up in new browser windows.

Ad injection is when a browser extension (or another app) creates and shows advertisements in the web pages that you visit. Often, ad injection is associated with malicious ads. But the ads can be completely safe – just unwanted.

Do people like Panel To Shop? It’s hard to say. The extension has no presence on the web. It’s not even clear who the company behind Panel To Shop is. In addition, despite showing thousands of installations on the Chrome Web Store, it has not a single rating or review.

Panel To Shop is very similar to Shopping Lovers and Shop Together – other extensions that inject ads and redirect to Bing.

How does Panel To Shop spread?

If the Panel To Shop installation number of more than 3,000 users is correct, then it’s possible that people installed Panel To Shop without meaning to. At worst, this could mean that the users who installed Panel To Shop do not realize that they have this extension. For them, it would look as if there are simply more ads online than they’re used to.

Extensions very similar to Panel To Shop would use online advertisements, including misleading ones, to spread to web browsers.

I did not find advertisements for Panel To Shop online, but there’s another common way for browser add-ons to infiltrate PCs: they’re bundled with free software installers, such as those you can find on freeware download sites. Bundling is a way of putting ads into an installer. It helps the developers of freeware make money. It’s also used by the operators of freeware sites – they wrap free programs into bundlers. Avoid download sites and use developer sites instead.

The problem with bundlers is that they often make it difficult to notice bundled software. They also install it by default – as in, you need to opt out of the offers. This is how some unwanted browser extensions and other programs get installed without people’s permission.

If that’s how Panel To Shop made it on your PC, then it might be one of a few unwanted programs installed.

How to delete Panel To Shop

Check your device for malicious software with an anti-malware app, such as Spyhunter for Mac, Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others.

Uninstall Panel To Shop from your extensions. Review your other extensions and if there are any that didn’t install, consider removing them.

Look at your default search engine settings and make sure that your favorite search site is set as your default search engine.
