[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 917908, member: 83059"] I should add, if you use ESET, I would say the HTTPS filter is almost a must. So many dynamic detections in the Malware Hub when ESET was tested was due to the internet traffic filter detecting a secondary malware payload that matched a signature. Everyone customizes their first stage injector to bypass signature detection but gets lazy with stage 2. Other AV products tend to have dynamic behavior blocking and other techniques that provide sufficient protection against secondary downloaded malicious payloads, but ESET honestly has almost nothing. If you disable ESET‘s HTTPS filtering, basically you lose all “dynamic” protection shown in the Malware Hub test, and at that point it’s basically just as effective as Google Chrome’s download screener.
