Fortinet Security Suite

i will over the weekend cause at this moment blue point is in the grinder

 

Ah ok.

 

I took GRC's leaktest and it passed. Aka detected

 

i wonder if this will ever be tested in AV-C.

 

If you google fortinet and av-comparatives you can find "on demand" results from the fortinet 3.11 build from 2007 in avc. I'm not sure if there are other test results from avc or not. And I am not sure what improvements their latest engine has over the prior 3.11.

 

I read on on their wiki that in 2005 Fortinet was found guilty of Patent infringement against Trend Micro regarding AntiVirus code

Has anyone had time to fully test the suite? firewall , AV ,AS etc.

thanks

 

they updated their program,

4.1.0.123 to .124 and the web filter expire has been fixed

 

i have yet to figure about how the web filtering works, i tired to block porn sites but it wont. not sure why

 

web filter blocks most bad sites with default profile

 

That is four years ago Brocke, besides if you search well enough and long enough you will find bad news/reviews for many if not all Businesses that make software like this.

 

I briefly tested it. Updates only once a day, which I didn't like. I didn't even turn heuristics on.

 

Well to me that does not matter since i have Avira update automatically ones a day as well.

 

yeah i dont mind it either

 

I have the Premium version; plus, once a day is behind many AVs.

 

So far I like the security suite.Now the web filter is working and no slow-downs.It is light on my system.I will wait for the test results(I am sure some people,magazines will test it) and afterwards I may put it on my daily PC.And I can choose to update it anytime I want,besides updating once a day.

 

do you know why when i tested the web filter on porn sites it wouldnt block them?

 

Web filter blocks bad sites plus the sites which I add to the blacklist.At least it works now for me.I did not do any modifications,it just blocks malware sites out of box.

 

Well i do not know how often the Premium version updates a day. And i guess that when you are used to a AV that updates severall times a day, it will be weird to see only one update. Still i do not mind myself.

 

too bad we cant block by keywords

 

Yes you can.Choose web filter from the main console.Click on modify settings,choose profile management,and choose the profile name (for ex:default profile).The categories in the box below are highlighted; from there you can choose sub categories according to keywords such as porn,homosexuality,weapons etc.

 

Thats what i did when testing it with porn sites, after i did that i google just porn and tried a site and was able to enter

 

That's fine; to each his own. If heuristics were better/more accurate in FSS, I might not mind as much.

 

Who running this on their system standalone? just curious

 

I uninstalled it. When it flags 3 or 4 of the top 20 downloads as suspect files you have to wonder if there is much backup of the product going on. Having to remove heuristic scanning to prevent FP's just isn't really worth it. Shame because it has decent features and seemed quite light on my computer. Would have been interesting to know which reg keys are covered by its reg guard.
