[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 896505, member: 78686"] I think it's not fully necessary but an additional layer of protection as it helps scanning the whole content of the webpage. So in case thinks like a modified malicious javascript of a page that collects your credentials and upload it to their server and etc other type of threats may only be detected if the antivirus was MITMing/scanning HTTPS content. But it does cost the user with a slight delay in page loading and maybe other vulnerabilities too if not properly implemented. Like blackice said above, one is ip/host based detection and another is decrypting the HTTPS content and scan it. All paid AVs already does the first one but some also do the latter. [/QUOTE]
