How to generate and install SSL certificate for Avast? &nbsp;-- Never worked with SSL certificates, always had someone else do it. &nbsp; &nbsp;I am installing the Avast Business Management Console on my Win7 Pro workstation to manage the installation of Avast Business Pro on 3 servers (SBS2011, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2) and 7 desktops (Win7Pro, Win10Pro). &nbsp; During the installation it prompts as to whether 'I have my own SSL certificate' &nbsp;OR &nbsp;'I don't have my own SSL certificate'. &nbsp; The install states that 'We will generate a self-signed certificate which is good enough for temporary testing purposes. &nbsp;However, it does not meet high security standards, therefore we recommend to use own SSL certificate.' &nbsp; <br />
<br />
Can you point me in the right direction?<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
