Ivan,

When you say you configure your AV-scanner to listen on localhost, how do you do it? Which ports does AV-scanner listen to? You can't have both stunnel and Avira listening on the same ports on the same interface.

Check your traffic flow. It should be something like:

Client -> Avira -> stunnel -> provider.

Only the connection stunnel-provider will be encrypted.

I thought the virus scanners are intercepting the network traffic between TCP/IP stack and Ethernet driver and thus don't have to do anything with TCP ports.

If the virus scanner would work as an IP application (as stunnel does), the viruses had to cooperate with the scanner in order to be detected.
