Interesting posting.
I will also add that both Kaspersky and BitDefender perform SSL/TLS protocol filtering. Hence the interception activity you observed using those products.
Also note that Eset will auto exclude from its SSL/TLS protocol filtering many vetted web sites using EV certificates such as banking web sites, etc.. If for some reason your bank web site is not auto excluded, you can create a URL exclusion for it in the Eset SSL/TLS protocol filtering settings section. This is the recommended way to perform SSL/TLS protocol filtering exclusions versus disabling SSL/TLS protocol filtering completely.
That's because ESET scans SSL communication. While it's possible to disable SSL filtering, since most malware is downloaded via https nowadays, we do not recommend doing so.
