If you use this AV then remember that and disable the setting.
Be aware that it's not only ESET that does this (and in ESET it's turned off by default) - other consumer software using such techniques include Kaspersky, Avast, AVG, BitDefender, BullGuard, G DATA, CYBERsitter, KinderGate, ZoneAlarm, Dr. Web, Net Nanny, and PC Pandora. And all of these (including ESET) were found to have implementations that were insecure in one way or another (ignoring the issue of whether manipulating such certificates is a good idea). For details, see 'Killed by Proxy: Analyzing Client-end TLS Interception Software' - the first publication in this list: https://madiba.encs.concordia.ca/~x_decarn/research.html

I see that that report also includes a couple of recommendations for browser manufacturers, so have posted a suggestion to add these to PM at viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11887

Forked extensions :
● Add-ons Inspector ● Auto Text Link ● Copy As Plain Text ● Copy Hyperlink Text ● FireFTP button replacement ● gSearch Bar ● Navigation Bar Enhancer ● New Tab Links ● Number Tabs ● Print Preview Button and Keyboard Shortcut 2 ● Scrollbar Search Marker ● Simple Marker ● Tabs To Portfolio ● Update Alert ● Web Developer's Toolbox ● Zap Anything

Hint: If you expect a reply to your PM, allow replies...
