For personal use, FortiClient is not the best option, as many features are unavailable. The FortiClient extension for Google barely works, as the web filter is broken. You can scan from the database any one of the endpoints available. It lacks of a strong Behaviour Blocker or HIPS and of a Firewall, but Web Filter and Signatures are top notch.The VPN functions as a way to attach the computer to a company network, providing good utility for a smaller business. Only during scans it grows a bit.ĭownloading updates is unnoticeable and it happens every hour by defaultįortiClient has Antivirus, AntiExploit, Heuristic and Web Filter. It uses 10 different processes, but total RAM and CPU usage is very low. Warnings are clear to understand and easy to answer.įortiClient installation size is around 600MB of which less than 200 are due to signatures. After saving, you can import it by Settings->RestoreįortiClient quietly sits in the background and doesn't annoy the user with unneeded popups or alerts.
Then you open it (for example with WordPad) and edit it. To do so, you have to go to Settings->Backup and save the file somwhere.
To modify most of the settings you have to click on "Unlock Settings" on the low-left corner.ĭefault settings are already good, you can tune them deeply by using the conf file. The last steps are automatic database update and Vulnerability Scan The installation process is smooth and easy and it doesn't require a reboot.
I suggest to check APT, AV and Web Filtering (Single Sign On and Application Firewall works only if you have a Corporate license). Security Fabric Agent is greyed out and can't be changed, Secure Remote Access is worth only if you wanna remotely access your PC. Upon installation, FortiClient will check if you have other AVs installed and if so, it will ask you whether you wanna install it without realtime function or cancel the installation.Īfter this step, it will perform a quick scan on your PC and then it will prompt you to choose which modules you wanna install. Once you run it, it will download the installation package. You have to download the online installer, which is few hundreds of KB. 6.0+ is free and it can be downloaded from their website 6.2+, but this is no longer free, only V.
