Managing HTTPS scanning in Web Guard in Avast Antivirus
Windows
HTTPS scanning is a component of Web Guard in Avast Antivirus. HTTPS scanning protects your Windows device against malware delivered by TLS and SSL encrypted HTTPS traffic when you browse the internet. This feature is enabled by default to ensure your full security. If you disable HTTPS scanning, any malware delivered by HTTPS traffic is hidden by TLS/SSL encryption and your computer is more vulnerable to threats.
Web Guard was formerly known as Web Shield.
