I just came across FortiClient. Knew about it for ages, but never really tried it. And it looks rather nice actually, except it makes Opera 50 browser take insanely long to start and show a bookmark bar and while using it, it's causing Opera to stop responding and then continue after like 5 seconds. Considering I have a hexa core CPU, 32GB RAM and fast SSD, that shouldn't be happening. I did enable all protective modules including Exploit protection. I mean, it's there, of course I'll use it all.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? I genuinely like FortiClient, but this was really unexpected and a bit disappointed as I haven't seen such behavior even with most demanding bloated security suites...
We need way more information.
What modules did you install with it?
Did you enable any extra features or adjust the CONF file?
Are there ANY other security programs on the machine?
If you install it, then click the gear next to antivirus protection a window will open showing extra options like Exploit Protection, Advanced Malware Intelligence Engine, Botnet Activity Detection. Are any of those enabled? After you let me know all of this I can probably solve the issue and if needed get a bug report in to the TAC.
Remember, 5.6+ FortiClient functions more like a real security suite more than a simple signature based antivirus. It has other modules such as anti-exploit, machine learning, anti-botnet and anti-coin miner. Any other security products can cause overlap, and significant issues. Also, it's possible one of the newer modules isn't updated to work with Opera, didn't they recently add anti-coin miner and other tech?
For example Voodooshield DOES NOT work with it any longer. Given FortiClient has a deployment scale of 50,000,000 systems it's not like they will fix it for a small scale product like VS. No offense to VS but that will be their logic on that.
