[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 1029677, member: 19756"] About HTTPs, I think you're right; I use Firefox. It doesn't happen often when I use Avast or AVG, and happens more for Bitdefender and Kasperksy. The browsing's faster with Windows Security, but it turns out it's because I didn't use the MS Application Guard extension. I read that if I disable HTTPs scanning in Adguard, some ads might show up, and if I disable it for the AV, then I don't get web protection. I also use apps like Ferdium where no adblockers can be added, so I have to use Adguard for Desktop for it. I once set Adguard for Desktop to block only ads in Ferdium and then installed uBlock Origin in Firefox, and browsing was fine. I'll probably do that if I decide to use an AV other than Avast or AVG; it's just that it's annoying that I still have to load Adguard for desktop to block ads in Ferdium and I have to use a separate adblocker for the browser. About slowdowns, I notice that this happens at startup and for the first few minutes for AVs like Avast, e.g., when I load the browser, the speed dial doesn't show up right away. At first, I thought it was probably because Google Drive was syncing, but I noticed the same thing in another PC that doesn't use that app. [/QUOTE]
