With the recent Humble Bundle deal I have tried again one of these antivirus products (Bitdefender Antivirus Plus) after only using Windows Defender/Security Essentials since the Windows 7 days.
Right after installing it I noticed that I MITMed myself with their "Web Protection" feature. To show green check marks next to my Google search results this "security" software intercepts my TLS traffic and alters it without my consent.
At least Microsoft's solution isn't that desperate to make itself noticed even at the expense of my network stack's integrity.
This is my main issue with the "security" industry for Windows. To justify their existence they have to remind their paying users all the time about their involvement and sometimes they use really stupid and dangerous methods to achieve this.
