Alludesgroup[.]com overview
At the time of research, alludesgroup[.]com presented us with fake CAPTCHA verification – "Click 'Allow if you are not a robot". It is noteworthy that the content encountered on and via rogue sites might be influenced by factors like user IP address (geolocation).
The CAPTCHA on alludesgroup[.]com is used to receive visitors into pressing the "Allow" button, which enables the webpage to deliver browser notifications.
However, the page also includes information regarding this ad delivery – which is uncommon. The inclusion of this disclaimer could be associated with certain policies or a policy change (e.g., hosting service, etc.).
Websites akin to alludesgroup[.]com use their browser notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. These ads can endorse online scams, unreliable/harmful software, and malware. Therefore, through such pages – users may experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
Recusemartpreview[.]com, udesmart[.]com, and headirtlseivi[.]org are just a couple examples of rogue webpages that we have written about recently. These sites can vary in appearance and the content/techniques utilized to push users into enabling the browser notification delivery.
It is worth mentioning that while legitimate products/services may be encountered via these adverts – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did alludesgroup[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
You have likely accessed alludesgroup[.]com at some point and permitted the advertisement delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option displayed on this webpage. Remember that no website can display notifications/ads without user consent.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
Be selective about which sites you enable to deliver browser notifications. Do not permit questionable pages to do so (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise denying notification delivery from such webpages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.
Should your browser continuously force-open suspect websites, it could be due to adware installed on it or the 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.
