Question Issue with google crhome 192.168.0.102

I am having problem with google chrome, My virus scanner wants to block ip address 192.168.0.102 every time i start google chrome. I don't know if I should permanently block the ip address or uninstall google chrome and reinstall the program.

This is an internal address on a local network (and likely the IP address of your very system). You need to scan this rig for viruses and other malware immediately.

Every time I start up Google Chrome on my desktop, The tv tries to connect to my desktop through my router
I don't know if I should block the IP address or allow the IP address. I am using Eset smart security for virus and firewall.

Are all of your devices using DHCP to get an IP address from your router? Or, do some devices have fixed (manually configured) IP addresses. On your router, you should be able to identify what device is using what IP.

My main tv is using 192.168.0.102 ip address. The problem that I am getting is only on my main computer that is connected to the network through a cable and hdmi cable. The problem is that my firewall keeps saying there was a problem with the IP address or certificate is old.

Are you using Chromecast (or something similar) via Chrome and the TV? If so, clear your browser history to see if the issue resolves itself.

My tv is a chromecast. I've tried to clear the history on Google Chrome on my computer but I am still having the problem. I don't know what to do.

Have you restarted your computer and cleared all browser caches since this started?

 

[ace700]

I turned my computer off and waited 30 seconds before turning the computer back on. I also tried clearing browser history caches and nothing works.

Do you have a link/favorite saved on your PC to your TV? If so, is it one that opens like a home page?

 

[ace700]

No I do not have a link\favorite saved on my computer to the tv. The computer is connected to the tv using an HDMI. I can cast videos from YouTube to the tv using my cell phone using wifi.
