Woollike.com

Posted: February 19, 2020

Woollike.com is a Web page that you may encounter while browsing dodgy websites such as the ones used to propagate adult films, pirated movies and TV series or software cracks. It is important to stay away from such pages because they are often used to distribute corrupted files, promote misleading tactics or fraudulent sites like Woollike.com. The good news is that Woollike.com is not a major security concern since all that this website wants to do is to receive permission to use your Web browser's push notifications – once it gets the ability to display notifications, it may proceed to spam you with notifications that advertise shady products and services, dodgy promotions and coupon codes, or other marketing content that may not be relevant to your interests.

Of course, the page Woollike.com uses simple tricks to disguise its prompt, asking for permission to show notifications, and it often may mask it as a step that must be completed to access specific content. One of the fraudulent pages that Woollike.com uses simple states 'Click Allow to Continue' and pretends to be loading a video in the background. Inexperienced Internet users may follow the instructions instinctively, and then end up being bombarded with Woollike.com's notifications.

You should never allow random websites to access your Web browser's notifications or any other of your other browser features. If you have given Woollike.com permissions already, then you should fix this mistake by revoking the site's permissions.
