[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 861815, member: 78686"] I just tested whether ESET slows down site loading because of SSL scanning or not. Did it manually multiple times with a stopwatch. I chose a bleepingcomputer page for the test. While SSL scanning is turned on ESET loads that particular page in 2.68 seconds on average but while it is turned off it loads in 2.47 seconds on average. Only a few ms but I was noticing it even without the stopwatch. So there's a slight slowdown indeed but keep in mind this was for one specific webpage only and the result would be more or less close for other domains. Also my internet connection is not the fastest so people with better internet connection probably wouldn't notice anything but this slight slowdown is true for not only ESET but also for every AVs that does SSL/HTTPS/Encrypted connection scanning. But one thing that I like about ESET is, it lets you manually exclude apps for which you don't want SSL scanning to be done. I don't think any other AV lets you do this. For I example I set it to ignore SSL scanning on Firefox. I don't mind if it scans encrypted connections of other less important apps. [/QUOTE]
