[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 698118, member: 7463"] Hi Woodrow! Yeah, Fortinet has indeed made advances in their product line over the past year as I stated in the video text. They are primarily an Enterprise Security company and are publically traded on the NASDAQ. It can be seen that they are growing fast and the value of the company over the past year has grown from an Enterprise value of about 4 billion USD to one of about 7.5 billion. Fortunately they have put some of their profits into R&D, and this has trickled down to improved malware detection by FortiClient (which really should be considered no more than a supplement to their excellent Security appliance). That being said, it is important to note that FortiClient, if used alone by a Home user, remains nothing more than a definition based anti-malware application. You bring up my cat- actually Ophelia did morph (I would never do such a thing myself being Kind and Gentle) a fast encryptor- an XData variant- that blew right past FortiClient.. But what would be the point of highlighting this? The worth of a traditional based AV can be seen in a valid logical argument: 1). Product A is a definition only based security application; 2). malware B is a true Zero-Day malware that no product has yet a definition against; therefore product A will Fail against malware B. As anyone in the field already knows this, and most Home users will not want to admit that it is true, why bother to darken anyone's day by including this in the video? Ophelia was actually pissed that I didn't use her malware, but I got her a block of 10 year aged Cheddar from Wisconsin and she forgave me. Never fails... M [/QUOTE]
