The only goal of this infection is to show as much ads as possible when we’re browsing the internet, while also spying on everything we do. These ads could be pop-ups, banners, or green or blue underlined links within the text of the website you’re visiting. These ads include the tag Wooden Seal Ads, thanks to this tag many people realize they have been infected.
Besides ruining your browsing experience, Wooden Seal also spies on everything you do online, saving web searches and visited websites. Wooden Seal also analyzes your computer, for “statistics purposes”, or so they say. Truth is they use all this data to build a profile about you they can easily sell afterwards…
If you visit what seems to be Wooden Seal’s official website, be sure that you won’t get infected there, it’s impossible to download the software on this website even though there is a download button. This page was only created to make public their conditions of use, where every task the software does is detailed; this is done so they can be protected in face of the law.
