IBM Security Rapport / Chrome-extension
What the heck is this? It blocks some of the webpages I want to access - nothing suspicious as far as I can see........including a BBC news item!!Any suggestions on that?
It happens on my Windows 8.1 computer
............the squeaky NEW Windows 10 computer has a total hard drive failure........and has been sent back to Currys!

My bank also offer Rapport to its customers.I declined, naturally.
Basically it's just a re-routing mechanism. Every webpage you want to visit first goes through another portal which then passes you to your webpage. The idea they try to sell you is that by having that intermediary portal in place they can protect you if your chosen web page is hooky.
The truth is that all they are doing is routing all your internet activity through their server so they can collect tons of data about what you do and use that to serve ads and so on.

If it's an extension, it should be possible to disable it.Go into Chrome's options (three vertical dots in the top right-hand corner of the browser), go to 'More Tools' then 'Extensions'.
If the extension is listed in the window that shows, you should be able to disable it by using the small blue slider switch. You might be able to remove it in that area too ..but just disable it for now to see if this cures the problem.
