[QUOTE="Threadripper, post: 957572, member: 78223"] I seriously recommend you avoid anything which wants to use its own cert - Malwarebytes and Emsisoft come to mind when I think of AVs that scan websites without messing with certs. Firefox, Brave, Safari, etc. all use Google Safe Browsing (along with Chrome of course) and Edge uses SmartScreen. You can use [URL='https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/microsoft-defender-browse/bkbeeeffjjeopflfhgeknacdieedcoml']Microsoft Defender Browser Protection[/URL] to get SmartScreen on a browser that isn't Edge if you like. Browser extensions have also sent every website you've visited in plain text to their company (I remember Bitdefender did this) so I wouldn't touch many of those except again, Malwarebytes and Emsisoft which I know don't.
