[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 760905, member: 32547"] I can see why FortiClient is not for most people. It's a client side endpoint software all the way. It really does expect the bulk of the work to be done by FortiGuard on the network server etc. However, if the signatures are good for zero day, then that's good enough for me. After running the Vulnerability Patcher, it indeed installed 75 Windows Updates. I believe that the Meltdown patch was included in this. [ATTACH]196902[/ATTACH] Not sure if there are any patches for this one, though: [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/3-new-vulnerabilities-in-intel-processors-discovered.86015/#post-757884']Security Alert - 3 new vulnerabilities in Intel processors discovered[/URL] I hope someone is tracking these vulnerabilities. There doesn't seem to be the momentum for a fix like the Spectre/Meltdown vulnerability. However, it is Intel and it's just as serious. Anyway, reran the scan, and it picks up no new Vulnerabilities [ATTACH]196903[/ATTACH] So this system appears to be declared by FortiClient Vulnerability free with 75 updates from MS. Normally, there would be about 300 for Windows 7 all together, but I am curious if it is safe to say that this covers the exploitable areas of Windows.
