[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 898156"] Just playing devils advocate :p, but has anyone proved it was better, or are we just basing it on AV vendors telling us it is better?;) I guess the question is, what ate they actually trying to stop? If it's downlowing files, then what's the purpose of the file scanner? Shouldn't it be scanning all downloaded files? I guess we could say detecting credit card skimmers, but many of those still go undetected by most AVs. So i guess the question is, what is the real purpose of scanning https traffic? After all its been known to cause quite a few issues, as https wasn't designed to work in this manner. Not saying it's not worth it, just trying to inject some thought into the conversation. After all all I've seen from AV companies is them s aying, to stop the bad guys, but in all honesty, that's a pretty generic statement.:cool::emoji_beer: [/QUOTE]
