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

I am getting these type of warnings as soon as i opened the Chrome browser.... & continuously getting the same pop-ups several times in a minutes.....

Please tell me .... how to prevent it or resolve the issue...?

Hello @Prabhanshu and welcome to the Community!

This situation is caused by the fact that the website in the notification has an expired certificate.

If you do not visit the website and you still receive these notifications, then your browser connects to it either through allowed notifications or toolbars/extensions. I suggest that you clear the cache & cookies, remove any unused/unknown extensions and if the issues persist, reset your browser. You can find these steps here:

Alternatively, you can add an exception for the website in Bitdefender - Protection - Online Threat Prevention - Manage Exceptions, or, from the same area (Online Threat Prevention) - disable the Encrypted Web Scan feature which scans for the certificates of websites (not a recommended action).

Let us know if this helps.

Stay safe.
