Here my review about FortiClient 6.0.9.0277

Your review is good. The only problem I have with this product is it doesn't BB or HIPS. I would only use it with a COMODO firewall.

Yes, you are right. It depends on how much a risky user you are.
Their web filter is really great, so it can save you from most online threats. And they update signatures quite often, their static detection rate is very good.
If you want, you can pair it with CFW or OSA

If you are ΜΤ member , and secure user and Panda free is enough . For CFW I agree. But Osarmor it can t replace the BB. Is my opinion. I may be wrong. Because the last time I used OSArmor is before 2 years

Forticlient is a such a great and reliable product to use. I have personally used this software once before on my comp setup.

Hard to best if your are determined to use Comodo Firewall. CF lacks effective net protection, so Forticlient is there with system-wide net filtering. CF lacks effective signature detection, so Forticlient is there with effective a-v detection. CF is enough by itself if the user can manage the quirks, but adding F-C is like getting full coverage from an internet security package. The two together seems better to me than CIS for sure, which has typical Comodo weaknesses itself...

Very good review thanks to @imuade

Ohh.. I did not know. Thanks Bro!

Why the hell did they do that?
I always liked Forticlient/Fortinet, but I found a bad move from them

FortiClient has always been more a Corporate solution rather than a Personal one (think about their management feature).
Since V. 6.2 has been out, they have updated V. 6.0 too, so let's see if (and hope) they will keep doing so

Hello, perhaps this sound stupid, but I will ask it anyway: Can I use Forticlient with BTS, or how(advice needed?)

Why? It's not necessary since you have a complete suite.

Thanks @imuade for an excellent review. I have been tempted to try FC before but always thought setting it up was more complex, i.e. I'm thinking of @ForgottenSeer 58943 's old posts about it. Now we have all the info in one place.

Because I do things online that some would consider as dangerous behavior: My setup goes like this: BTS+Syshardener+OSAmor.
Second opinion Scanners: Malwarebytes+HitmanPro(paid)+Norton Power Eraser & Emsisoft Emergency Kit.
Is this good enough or what would you recommend.?

More than enough. Relax and enjoy your risky behavior!

You can install it without real-time protection, the AV will work as a on demand scanner only. Not sure about the other modules.

You can just install the web filter. Like this it will be compatible with any other AV and it will protect your online activity

Hello imuade, but does BTS not have webfiltering.

 

[oldschool]

Hello imuade, but does BTS not have webfiltering.

Yes, it has it.

 

[ForgottenSeer 55474]

So no FortiClient for me ?
Now that I am ad it, is there any security enhancements I could do?

 

[imuade]

Hello imuade, but does BTS not have webfiltering.

It has it, but you asked if you can add FortiClient, thus my answer

CFW and Comodo do have a lot of things that can go wrong mind, when Forticlient blocks a site it may do so sufficiently. Depends if this bug has been fixed or you have experienced this.

However they do compliment each other expertly if no bug has been encountered
