[QUOTE="avatar, post: 909985, member: 22875"] I am not sure what you mean here, but it does not sound right. First, no serious product uses a single cert, this is highly insecure. The cert used for decryption is always unique to your device. If for some reason it becomes invalid, your browser will consider all your HTTPS connections broken. It does not mean that there's no HTTPS anymore - there is. It just becomes almost unusable because the user needs to confirm every new domain manually. But even in this case, your connections continue to be secure. Here is one (there are more): most of the modern browser exploits use Javascript. This is not a file that's downloaded to HDD, it needs to be scanned before your browser has loaded and executed it. [/QUOTE]
