[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1124831, member: 78686"] The process of decrypting secured HTTPS traffic to scan the whole content loaded by a website is known as HTTPS/SSL scanning by AV vendors. Even without decryption, any attempt to visit a known malicious/phishing host can still be blocked by those AVs. Decryption is mainly useful if a compromised websites HTML contains malicious code which you can't see without the AV being the Man in the Middle. But I'm sure most websites you visit regularly are not compromised with malware. So, it's not the most useful feature in most situations and can be disabled if you're not a super-risky user. Disabling it also increases browsing speed. [/QUOTE]
