[QUOTE="nickoftime, post: 1007566, member: 5940"] Are you sure about this? Because HTTPS scanning/filtering/interception (3 words that imply the same feature) is performed to protect your web browsing - at least in theory. From the Avast website: "[I]This feature is enabled by default to ensure your full security. If you disable HTTPS scanning, any malware delivered by HTTPS traffic is hidden by TLS/SSL encryption and your computer is more vulnerable to threats[/I]." [url=https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/use-antivirus-https-scan/#pc]Managing HTTPS scanning in Web Shield in Avast Antivirus[/url] You are not disabling web protection entirely, but protection is crippled to HTTP-only: almost useless.
