SOLVED firewall blocked msftncsi

[smeyers2]

Hi All,
This morning I turned on Chrome and got a pop up from my Eset firewall that it has blocked msftnsci.com. I have NEVER gotten this specific alert before. I googled it and it seems pretty technical to me. I was wondering what this was and should I be concerned. One website said I would only get this if I had 64bit windows and Automatic Updates turned on which I do.

EDIT: I rebooted and turned on Chrome and had no issues or popup warning.

Doesn't seem to be something to be too concerned about. It looks like a common function of Windows to determine network connectivity.

Sometimes, third party security suites can be a bit over zealous in doing their perceived job.
