What is vossulekuk[.]com?
vossulekuk[.]com is an untrusted website due to its content and the other dubious web pages that it can open. People do not often vossulekuk[.]com or similar sites intentionally - they are opened by clicking deceptive advertisements and visiting other bogus web pages.
These sites are also opened when potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) are installed on browsers/operating systems.
There are many web pages like vossulekuk[.]com on the web. Some examples are messages-email[.]com, netflowgroup[.]com, and theactualnewz[.]com.
vossulekuk[.]com and similar sites load dubious content, use 'clickbait' techniques to trick visitors into allowing them to show notifications, and open other untrusted pages (e.g., scam websites, download pages for browser hijackers, adware).
What happens after visiting these bogus pages depends on the geolocations of their visitors - vossulekuk[.]com make visitors believe that it cannot be loaded unless they click the "Allow" button (which allows a currently-opened page to show its notifications).
Pages such as vossulekuk[.]com should never be allowed to show notifications. Usually, their notifications contain deceptive advertisements, promote untrusted, potentially malicious websites, etc.
Browsers that open these bogus sites regularly often have PUAs installed on them. PUAs can force users to visit dubious pages and also to generate online advertisements (coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, etc.). These ads promote untrusted websites or execute scripts that can cause unwanted downloads and installations.
PUAs also record various data. For example, Internet Protocol addresses, URLs of visited websites, entered search queries, and geolocations. Some PUAs read sensitive data as well. The developers can misuse collected information to generate revenue: for marketing purposes, selling it to third parties (potentially cyber criminals), or they monetize it in another ways.
Therefore, users who have PUAs installed on their browsers are at risk of encountering problems relating to online privacy, browsing safety, and other issues.

In summary, websites such as vossulekuk[.]com or pages they open should not be trusted, and they should never be allowed to show their notifications.
Users who continually arrive at dubious websites, without clicking ads or visiting dubious websites, should check their browsers and operating systems for installed potentially unwanted applications. Note that most users download and install PUAs inadvertently.
How did adware install on my computer?
PUAs are distributed via download/installation set-ups of other products. This deceptive marketing tactic of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".
Rushing download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and settings, etc.) increases the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system.
Some PUAs have "official" download sites. Intrusive advertisements proliferate these applications as well. Once clicked, they can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' consent.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
You are advised to download files and programs from official websites and via direct download links. Other tools and sources such as third party downloaders and installers, unofficial pages, and Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., eMule, torrent clients) should not be used to download or install software.
Check all "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings (or available checkboxes) for offers to download and/or install unwanted apps. Do not click ads on dubious websites, since they can be designed to open bogus web pages or cause unwanted downloads and installations.
Remove any unwanted, suspicious extensions, plug-ins and add-ons installed on the browser, and software of this kind from 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?
Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.
Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
