[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1064709, member: 78686"] I just did a test, and they are different indeed. I was only partially right. 1) The Trusted Address option in the network settings put the sites completely in whitelist so, No detection even if malware + No HTTPS scanning. If you check the website's certificate, then it's not Kaspersky, it's the actual certificate used by the site. This is equivalent to ESET's whitelist option. 2) The option "Do not scan web traffic from trusted URLs" available in Safe Browsing option means, No detection even if it's malware + HTTPS scanning. So Kaspersky still decrypt the connection to scan. If you check the website's certificate, then it's Kaspersky's. It is kind of equivalent to ESET's "Found malware is ignored" option. With this option, you would still have the performance impact caused by HTTPS scanning. Without going into full details, ESET's equivalent option more useful, capable and makes more sense than this one. So still what I initially said is not seems to be present in Kaspersky that is present in ESET and that is only ignore HTTPS scanning but still block the site if available on their blacklist. So Kaspersky has two ways to whitelist, ESET has three, and ESET's number 2 is more useful than Kaspersky's number 2. I can explain why if required in another topic/comment. [/QUOTE]
