Secure downloads for installers?
« on: April 28, 2016, 02:51:38 AM »
Is there a place to download the installers over HTTPS?  Why isn't this standard?

The installers are signed (using the Apple developer signing mechanism), so it is irrelevant whether they are downloaded using a secured channel or not (the installers are also distributed using channels that Avast can not influence). However I agree, that in 2016 as a security company we probably should use HTTPS for distributing our products anyway.
