Had recently completed Quest for Glory 1 VGA(by Seirra) and wanted to download the AGD version of Quest for Glory 2(and of course the King's Quest trillogy of the first three of those) but as of this year, 2024 Janurary the site where you actually get transferred to the download link is no longer secure. It was last year! I do not want to even risk getting malware, viruses in 2024. Also my PC has been infected by some other sites just because of this. Thus, I think it is so stupid of poeple in 2024 to believe one "paranoid" for being wisely concerned about this. I posted this issue on facebook about the site. As last year(prior Janurary) it was working like a clock! But as of now: Is there another place to download these games? Again, I've had malware and bazaar things resulting in other downloads such as "Privateer 2" and its res patch. I am surprised GOG refrences such bogus links to its download. As for this game. The AGD people are great! I missed the games, and missed thier productions and wonderful dilogue and acting skills in the games they remade! I had them on my old PC once back in 2020.-akin the "good ole days"! But I never got the chance ot finish them. I wanted to download them again. see picture.

A quick Google search reveals this website: https://gamesnostalgia.com/download/quest-for-glory-ii-remake/2102

Interestingly enough, I tried d/l the game from the original source, and I couldn't even download it.

I think you misunderstand the error message. The message states that the site is not using encryption, so traffic between you and it can be easily read, and an active attacker between you and it would have a relatively easy way to subvert the download, delivering to you content different than the server intended. This does not, on its own, mean the content on the site is dangerous in any way. More importantly, if the link were secure, that only means you can confidently receive what the server intends to send you. It does not mean that what the server sends you is actually safe. If the server has been hacked, or was operated by a malicious party, it could send dangerous content over the secure connection, and you would not get a warning from the browser.Are you sure? Browsers get stricter over time. It's possible that last year Chrome quietly allowed insecure sites, and now it loudly complains about them.If there is no https download available for the game, then GOG's options are to provide this insecure link, or to provide nothing. Per above, the link is not inherently bogus solely because it is served without encryption.

I contacted one of the people in charge, on facebook she said she checked the site. Said the site was okay and she would check the download later. But no, it blocks download. If you click it multiple times it will trigger a message about agdinteractive.com not being secure. but if one has to spamclick sounds like the site is not maintained. the files are there and I did get them(just to see) seems the files are okay as usually when this kind of thing happens one of my onboard scanners will flag it a malware. not this time, not even Power Eraser nor Adware cleaner(whom usually do flag malware on uprotected sites) COULD be dangerous, not "is". as in unmaintained websites often are vunerable to random rogue attackers. I learned the hard way in the past on many other sites over the years. My brother's servers at his school were hacked 12 times because of a malware from a non-ssl site. Falcon-NW own advice(first thing the told me) when I stated "why am I continually getting malware on newly instlaled Windows PCs. the tech rep told me "likely it is downloading freeware from non SSL sites would be my first guess, many people make the mystake of thinking freeware means free." He then recomended I restrict my downloading to SSL sites only.

http://www.agdinteractive.com/games/qfg2/downloads/thegame/downloads_snd.html offers download links that work without issue for me. The browser offers to download them on the first click, no special action required. If your browser is having problems with them due to the site being served over http, that seems like a browser problem. A quick Internet search reveals that Chrome 83 broke some http downloads, although your problem sounds a bit different.

I also found a Google help page that acknowledges this, but presents the information very poorly, so I think the zdnet piece is more useful. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6261569?hl=enSure, but it's so easy to set up TLS now that an unmaintained site can have a TLS certificate and still be abandoned and compromised. For that matter, considering how many hobby users do not seriously maintain the security of their projects, even an actively maintained site can still have rogue downloads lurking for a while before anyone notices.While possible, I must again emphasize that using SSL does not prevent a site from serving malware, and indeed the best malware sites probably do maintain a valid certificate, so that they look more appealing to people whose sole condition is that http=bad, https=good. Supporting SSL also lets them evade some forms of network-level content scanning, thereby improving the chance that their malware will reach its destination undetected.Level 1 CSRs are legendary for their mistakes. Staying off disreputable freeware sites is a good idea, but it's so easy for a site to support SSL that treating the presence of SSL as an indication the site is "safe" is a bad idea.
