I had to add the url http://d31w5wvwqc1c0w.cloudfront.net/upgrade.ini, http://update.remoteutilities.net/host-7.5.1.0.exe into our whitelist antivirus and noticed it was http. Can you please update that https, and is d31w5wvwqc1c0w.cloudfront.net your url from cloudfront.net? Also the upgrade ini is downloading from http and not https.

Hello Brad,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, that makes perfect sense. In fact, we would have implemented this earlier, but there are still some compatibility issues with older Windows HTTPS clients. The most practical solution is to implement HTTPS for newer versions of Windows (8 and later) as well as Windows Server, while still using HTTP on the older Windows versions.
