Hi
Just wanted to save everyone time if you find your users' chrome browsers updates being blocked and not updating when using the default exception rule from Sophos.
The problem is with google adding an underscore to the path for the chrome_installer.exe
The current regex fails to match and blocks the download.
Original regex: ^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.google\.com\/)(([A-Za-z0-9.-\/]+)?)[0-9._]*chrome_(updater|installer)\.exe
Updated regex: ^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.google\.com\/)(([A-Za-z0-9.-\/_]+)?)[0-9._]*chrome_(updater|installer)\.exe
Only difference is the underscore added in the range of allowed characters in the path for the installer.exe
I also added another regex for another google domain gvt1.com which appeared to a backup for updating.
being: ^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.gvt1\.com\/)(([A-Za-z0-9.-\/_]+)?)[0-9._]*chrome_(updater|installer)\.exe
Sure these two regex's could be combined
Now all working for me.
HTH
