Managed by your organization

Hi Dilshan,

We'll certainly answer your concern.

There is a network protocol currently in development called QUIC. As it is in the active development by Google and others, there are some versions of this protocol that we cannot check properly for malicious traffic.

Therefore, we decided to block these protocol versions and the way how we do it is using Chrome Policy setting (which is, according to Google, the preferred way to do it). You can check the policy by visiting chrome://policy.

yesterday I experienced huge drainage of my CPU power without knowing. and today I saw this annoying message '' managed by your organization '' in my chrome browser.

screenshot of the message

so I did a little research today and found out it caused by the recent avg update that did happen without asking me. causing me problems like slowing down my PC.

so my questing is can this become a threat like avg stealing my browser data or controlling my browser without knowing me. please help.

We plan to change the behavior of the QUIC scanning. For the period of time until a full blown scanning is released in AVG, we will continue to provide security of the connections by blocking QUIC in google by the policy (the most transparent way, as opposed to other mechanisms that are available, like simply blocking QUIC traffic :slight_smile: and let the browser handle it). However, once you, the user, disable QUIC scanning - we will ignore such connections completely and won't block QUIC inside browsers (and remove the policy from the registry).
