How to remove apps that open viulanatura.com and other similar sites
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is viulanatura[.]com?
In most cases, users arrive at websites such as viulanatura[.]com after clicking deceptive ads, visiting bogus websites, or when potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) are installed on browsers and/or operating systems. Users do not often visit these pages intentionally.
Some examples of other sites similar to viulanatura[.]com include helgminers[.]com, studience[.]club and greendsign[.]com.
Typically, pages such as viulanatura[.]com display dubious content or open other bogus web pages. What happens when users visit these pages depends on their geolocations. Like most websites of this type, viulanatura[.]com uses a 'clickbait' technique to trick visitors into giving it permission to show notifications.
It suggests that the website loading process can be continued by clicking the "Allow" button - this allows the site to show notifications. Once allowed, viulanatura[.]com shows notifications with deceptive ads and links to dubious pages. PUAs that promote pages such as viulanatura[.]com also gather data and/or display ads.
Commonly, they collect data such as IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, URLs of visited/opened pages, etc. Some PUAs are capable of accessing personal, sensitive information. The details might be sold to third parties (cyber criminals) or misused to generate revenue in other ways.
Furthermore, PUAs can serve advertisements (e.g., coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups). If clicked, these can execute scripts to cause download/installation of PUAs or open potentially malicious websites.

In summary, potentially unwanted applications can cause problems relating to browsing safety, online privacy and even identity theft. Therefore, never download or install these rogue apps. Websites such as viulanatura[.]com should never be trusted or visited. In most cases, users do not visit pages such as viulanatura[.]com or install PUAs intentionally.
How did adware install on my computer?
PUAs are often downloaded/installed together with other products. This deceptive marketing technique of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".
By rushing through download/installation of software (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using "Quick/Express" settings, etc.) many users risk unintentionally allowing bundled content into their devices. Intrusive advertisements proliferate PUAs as well.
When clicked, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without users' permission. Some PUAs have "official" download web pages from which they can be downloaded.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
Download software and files from official websites and via direct links. It is not safe to use torrent clients, eMule (or other Peer-to-Peer networks), third party downloaders, unofficial websites or other sources of this kind. Avoid third party installers. Check "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings, and decline offers to download or install unwanted software.
Do not click ads that are displayed on dubious websites, since they can open other untrusted websites or even cause unwanted downloads and installations. Remove any unwanted, suspicious applications (extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins) that are installed on the browser.
The same should be applied to programs of this kind that are installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
