Aswidsagent.exe and AVGSvc.exe establish connection on 80 port (not on 443 port)

Hello developers and community.
I don't know what information is exchanged with Avast cloud (according to whois) by these two services aswidsagent.exe and AVGSvc.exe. Maybe it is file signatures. Or usage reports. In either case I tgink it is strange that the connection is established connection on 80 port (not on 443 port). When I close 80 port for them, they occasionally try to get through 443, but usually fail.

Is not it a bit "unprotected" to say the least if I send or get my info through ports which are not crypted.

Thanks

Hello Carlitto.

Simply answered, encryption is not based on the TCP port, but it's based on the transport protocol which is used.

I trust this clarifies your concern. Regards, Shawn
