[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 859273, member: 83059"] ESET's web filtering also attaches at the network transport layer and is one of the less light components. On ultra low voltage chips like on the Surface Pro, in battery saver mode network transfers will become CPU bound and it reduces my throughout from 600 to 400mbps. Emsisoft does not use protocol level network filtering and instead provides web protection via a browser plugin. The more intrusive form of network filtering does tend to result in more detections of malware attempting to get a second stage payload so it does have some protective benefits.... You can see cases in the malware hub where that is the layer that detects a threat. However IMO this is also super easy to defeat just by having malware download an encrypted second stage payload instead of relying on HTTPS. [/QUOTE]
