One of the main "issues" I have had with Kaspersky is that it always slows down page loading. It's a small difference, but noticeable, and sometimes even annoying, since page loading doesn't behave as snappy as with Defender or Eset. However, after recently experimenting with HTTPS scanning disabled, Kaspersky behaves just as fast as if it wasn't there.
But what is the cost of having that disabled? Can other of Kaspersky's modules make up for losing that layer of defense? Anyone has experimented this before?
Disabling HTTPS scanning in Kaspersky can improve page loading speed, as you have observed. However, it is important to understand the potential consequences of disabling this feature.
HTTPS scanning is designed to inspect encrypted connections for potential threats or malicious content. By disabling it, you may be limiting Kaspersky's ability to detect certain types of malware or protect against phishing attacks that are transmitted over encrypted connections.
While other modules in Kaspersky's security suite can provide additional layers of defense, such as real-time scanning, firewall protection, and behavior monitoring, it is worth noting that HTTPS scanning adds an extra level of security.
Ultimately, the decision to disable HTTPS scanning should be based on your individual risk tolerance and the importance you place on page loading speed versus enhanced security. If you engage in safe browsing practices and visit trusted websites, the risk may be minimal. However, if you frequently visit unfamiliar or potentially risky websites, it may be advisable to keep HTTPS scanning enabled for enhanced protection.
