Malware authors are all already moving their payloads to https sites, so this will be useful for about a year until it's been worked around.
Fun fact: https is a great way to mask your malware payload from filtering proxies. So now corporate laptops have client-side HTTPS filtering, which have really stupid filter rules that break existing valid use cases of downloading files. So the users then turn the filters off, and now all the malware gets through. Yay https! We may not be secure, but we've got privacy, damn it!
