HTTPS connections fail with Chrome

Currently I can't use HTTPS with Chrome*. I get

Error 103 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED)

I noticed it trying to login into Dropbox or search with Google using HTTPS.

How can I repair this?

* It works with Internet Explorer. Must be something specifically Chrome related.


This may be (frequently is) a problem due to recent updates to your antivirus software. Recently (late-Feb '13) this happened to a lot of users of Kaspersky.

I would suggest closing Chrome, disabling your Antivirus, and opening Chrome again to test.


It might be that a firewall or Antivirus is blocking Chrome. You should add Chrome to the exceptions list.
