Installing Turbotax Download-CefSharpe.BrowserSubProcess

Hello,

While installing Turbotax, a message pops up saying "Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of this app.  Name:  CefSharpe.BrowserSubProcess".

 

Is this required to use Turbotax 2024?  Is it safe or okay to choose "Allow CefSharpe.BrowerSubProcess to communicate on private networks, such as my home or work network"?

 

If this is not recommended, how can we uninstall or delete the CefSharpe.BrowerSubProcess?

 

Thank you.

The CefSharpe.BrowserSubProcess is part of a system that TurboTax (and other applications) use to allow the software to connect to the internet. You should allow it, as TurboTax needs to connect to the internet to activate, download updates, NETFILE and for other features.
