"Another Underused, Excellent A.V. Program"
Version: FortiClient Lite 4.3.3
Pros
-Superb protection/detection
-The user friendliest A.V. program I've ever used (install and forget about it)
-Simple, clean interface
-Low false positives
-Low RAM & CPU usageCons
None whatsoever
Summary
I can't think of any cons. This is one of the absolute best A.V. solutions available, paid or not. I have no clue why people don't switch from programs like Symantec and AVG or any paid A.V. to FortiClient or UnThreat. Why they don't? It's beyond me.
If you're an amateur, I'd suggest FortiClient Lite to you. Or if you like simple, non hassle A.V.'s, I'd recommend this to you. More or less, I'd recommend this to anyone. -
"Use to be a great security suite ...."
Version: FortiClient Lite 4.3.3
Pros
It's free and that is it
Cons
Changed interface and not as many install options .
Summary
Why change it if it isn't broke ! We forticlient did just that they changed something that was not broke and messed it up! Interface look flashy but just not as many controls to change settings. The firewall is not found and a together it went from the best security suite to the worst. Things need to be changed back and quit trying to improve it if it doesn't need to be!
