I see they added exploit protection to their free version. Has anyone tried it ? I see you have to turn it on in the setting after install.
Mediocore ? i think its very good from latest test i have seen, it also has behaviour blocker and anti exploit. youtube.com/watch?v=WyFQRKI_LLo&t=10s How much Ram does it use ?
You can edit a INI file to allow the client to use more than one core. Default it one core. Also you can edit it to allow to look for zoo malware. Source https://malwaretips.com/threads/forticlient-windows-5-6-2.78005/
I’ve created a small app that interfaces with the fortinet client to allow the standalone mode “free” version to send out alert to an email when a virus is found. Before you had to have a fortigate appliance. Would anyone be interested in testing ? or wanting a need for this for your self is fine.
that sounds good. it would be nice to have a guide for the various settings with the ini-file. or various written ini's for various setups. because thats nothing for unaware user
Forticlient 6.0 is out: https://forticlient.com/downloads https://malwaretips.com/threads/forticlient-6-0-0-windows.83995/
a horrible UI turned into an even worse they fixed 1 thing, broke 10 other runs like ****, UI takes ages to open or to react to anything
Well to be fair, UI is not supposed to be used, it is for one time setup only on client computers. They obviously do aim their free version at common consumers. We can be glad they offer it at all. Fortinet's signatures plus its ATP based on FortiSandbox of the worldwide network is freely available and proven to work by NSS Lab. That is unfortunately true, v6 has gained some fat (approx 500MB RAM usage). But CPU/HDD usage is not that bad, still I have disabled web protection and proxy to calm it down.
so you disabled the only thing that it's useful for or exceeding compared to other solutions? it has one of the best web filtering but the rest is subpar without a fortigate.
You do not need Fortigate, realtime cloud uses ATP, just like Windows Defender ATP. I use K9, which is way better, besides I could not get Fortinet's web protection to work anyway.
To make the web protection work, you can try running the forticlient desktop shortcut as administrator. When I was using forticlient I used to run the UI as administrator to change options.
The GUI actually looks good to me, I will perhaps give it a try. But I have to admit I'm worried about your comment about the sluggish GUI, are you also using other security tools, perhaps it's a conflict.
