docs.google.com Suspicious Connection Blocked

JVFLA · 2024-09-09T13:10:50+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

My notifications are filled repeatedly with this critical notification:

chrome.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an untrusted certificate to docs.google.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since untrusted certificates are issued by unrecognized Certificate Authorities.

I don't really use Google Docs much and I have no idea why Chrome is repeatedly trying to access it in the background. But, I'm raising the question before I add this to exceptions in case anyone is aware of a reason that this might be a valid malware activity?

Thanks!

Hello @JVFLA and welcome to the community.

Most likely an unwanted browser redirect or adware.

Let us know what worked for you.

I was surprised to discover I had an extension for being able to see Google Docs offline. I don't remember adding this. Just removed it so hopefully that makes it stop.
