chrome update to gvt1.com creating lots of traffic

9.603-1 : SG310

I am seeing a lot of traffic to gvt1.com (both blocked and allowed) and I believe it is something to do with chrome updates.

I have tried a suggested solutions of adding : ^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.gvt1\.com\/)(([A-Za-z0-9.-\/_]+)?)[0-9._]*chrome_(updater|installer)\.exe to the exceptions but nothing changes.  

Does anyone have any suggestions/worksarounds/updates?

the logs read:

  • reason="range" is your problem.

    As I understand it, "range" is a web technique used to send a large binary object in small pieces.   This makes the traffic impossible to evaluate for safety.   9.6.x decided that the risks of range traffic were too high to ignore, so the technique is blocked.

    I don't think here is an exception option for range checking, instead, it is included in antivirus checking.   To be sure, check some of the earlier posts about range checking in this community.

  • This is what I am using to allow exceptions for Google properties with "reason=range" errors. It's not ideal to bypass antivirus, but there seems to be no other choice.
