Is there any good antivirus that not change SSL? I use AVG and it has change SSL certificated even I disabled features. It looks like making many tracking.
Are you sure you need a third-party antivirus? Assuming you’re on Windows we generally recommend just sticking with Windows Defender.

Linus from LTT did a recent video where he installed a lot of antivirus software and it was annoying to use.
MS Defender just did the job as well as third party where it mattered with less fanfare.

Actually its an old habit from old days. We always used another antivirus rather than windows’. And there are some extra features I think, I didnt check properly but it must be. Forexample avg has antitrack features. I checked test marks, it looks like G Data and kaspersky has good results. Less false positive and better detection. But I wonder that they have made SSL certificate change or some things similar. Also when disabled features like scan SSL trafic. I couldnt disable AVG’s ssl change. Its very weird I disabled features but it continues. May be Windows defender is good too and free.
Antiviruses in general aren’t very useful and can even be harmful sometimes
If you want to make Windows more secure, use sensible settings and sandbox your apps Windows Sandbox where possible (it’s a VM) and Sandboxie Plus for programs where you need good graphics performance etc.
