Does ESET Smart Security scan SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) traffic?
By default, ESET Smart Security checks the POP3 protocol on TCP port 110 and the HTTP protocol on TCP ports 80, 8080 and 3128 for threats to your system.
Since all SSL communications are encrypted it is not possible for ESET Smart Security to scan them, even if the TCP port is listed above and has been manually entered.
ESET Smart Security is unable to check encrypted traffic (SSL, HTTPS, S/POP3, SSH and so forth). After encrypted traffic has been decrypted, it will be checked for threats by the antivirus components of NOD32. If you are not using a standard port for email, it is scanned by the antivirus component as soon as the mail touches the system, which will protect you from any threats.
