[QUOTE="nickoftime, post: 1007534, member: 5940"] Hello everyone, Looking for a solid AV that [U]does not[/U] rely on HTTPS interception and browser extensions. It would need of course to monitor network activity, but ideally on DNS level. I know [URL='https://www.emsisoft.com/en/anti-malware-home/']Emsisoft Anti-Malware Home[/URL] fits the bill, but looking for an alternative and know of no others. EAM also has a great 'import hosts" feature where custom entries/lists can be added. This would be most welcome. The new [URL='https://www.intego.com/intego-antivirus']Intego Antivirus[/URL] for example, looks similar to EAM but I've read [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/intego-antivirus-2021.110785/']here[/URL] its web filter is not that effective. It'd be nice to have an updated list of software does NOT resort to HTTPS filtering. As for browser extensions, they will always restrict you to a few specific browsers (which for me is unacceptable) and can introduce security problems of their own. No need for additional features like VPN, Password Manager etc. It'd consider software that offer HTTPS Filtering as an optional setting, but only if this does not degrade their effectiveness. Thanks for any help. [URL='https://www.avira.com/en/blog/evil-nasty-https-handshakes']Do no evil with Avira (or nasty HTTPS handshakes)[/URL] (it seems they ARE doing evil now?)
