Google Search on Chrome

[vavio 0]

Problem:

On Chrome (x64 and x86) when I try to search on Google (via google.com and via link-bar) i get error ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED. I can open google.com but when I try to search something i get the same error. Sometimes when there was luck I was able to do 1 search and nothing more. Even if I tried refreshing the same search results the problem showed. I suspected that some of my extensions were the problem so I tried going Incognito (with extensions disabled) same problem. I tried updating my Windows 7 the problem persisted. I tried re-installing Chrome same problem.

This problem started showing after upgrading to the new version 8.0.304.0 of the ESET SS.

I started suspecting that it is chrome problem so I reported to the Chrome team and nothing.

So after long frustrations I thought that it is ESET's fault. 

The reason for that crossing my mind was the problem with the Dropbox application that showed right after upgrading to the latest version.

So I disabled the Scanning of 443 ports and viola. The problem disappeared.

Please take care of this problem

Maybe it's the same issue as that mentioned in https://forum.eset.com/topic/3760-part-of-web-site-blocked/?hl=err_content_decoding_failed. Please check it with the new Internet protection module, when available. In the mean time, you can exclude https://www.google.com* from filtering.

I second that what OP has stated.
I am on Windows 8.1 x64 & while using ESS 8.0.304.0, Google Chrome Browser (x64) is not able to search for any queries neither from the Homepage/Right Click Context menu nor from the Omnibox itself.
The only workaround that I have come across is to Disable the SSL Protection/Scanning for HTTPS links which indeed solves this issue. Developers needs to look into this as SSL Protection/Scanning is known to be interfering with HTTPS links & Windows Update, which infact is a long standing issue & needs to be addressed on priority basis.

 

Now, I am eagerly waiting for the said Internet protection module 1167B which is expected to fix this erroneous behaviour.

Hi,

same problem here on two PC. So i reported this issue 5 weeks ago to the german eset support and they told me that it is a compressing problem of my chrome browser.  ......and ESS has nothing to do with it.

But its nice to know that Eset will fix this now and i´m not stupid.

Same problem!

I will to cancel my signature with the Eset!

Have the same problem and can confirm OP suggestion of disabling scanning of port 443 resolves this.

What happens if you disable SSL scanning in the settings of ESS?

 

Maybe also follow this instructions:
