Content blocked by IT Admin
- You should be able to see which process is trying to access this URL, if you look at the Defender Antivirus event logs.
Blacksuit2375 did you make any progress on this to remove it or stop it from happening?
I have made ZERO progress on this issue. I even posted to Google and have not received any help thus far...this annoys the hell out of me! I know it is Chrome because it doesn't pop up when it is closed, only when Chrome is open.
Blacksuit2375 We are encountering the same issue. Have you heard anything back from Google? How did you solve / avoid the problem?
I wish I could provide you answers but Google nor anyone else has been able to assist me with this issue...it literally drives me insane!
Not sure if it helps but I recently had issues with the 'content blocked by IT Admin' notifications and tracked it down to the Defender for Endpoint's web content filter. I found through the Reports > Web protection that the mtalk.google.com site is considered a 'chat' related site so if your content filter rule has the chat category blocked, this could be the cause. You can either add an exception for that site via the indicators section or allow the chat category to stop the notifications. If you're not using the content filter, I would also suggest checking the attack surface reduction rule called 'network protection.'
I'm still trying to determine what mtalk.google.com is exactly and finding mixed results on the web. Seems to be a now-defunct google service but as you observed, chrome is trying to reach it. I would assume any google related product or service could be for that matter.
