[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 699869"] Andy has a good point - a way to make it configurable to run silently on 'average Joe' computer where we can cut and run with it. I used to use Geek Superhero/Desktop Armor in this fashion. I probably purchased 50 copies of that thing and installed it to run silently in the background and it was a significant defense against common annoyance malware at the time. Some folks might remember, browser hijacks, BHO's, Proxy Changes, Host File Hijacks, etc. It would be pretty interesting to have something like OSA to deploy in such a fashion to take care of things AV's generally don't handle well, while not impacting the overall system operation. With that being said, so far OSA works with FortiClient without any noted incompatibilities. However there is possibly some redundancy since FortiClient Exploit Protection has some crossover with OSA in some categories like Powershell, Windows Script Host, etc. That will probably need to be tested. I hasten to run much with FortiClient these days since FortiClient 5.6.2 added features equivalent to many security suites and implemented anti-exploit. But so far OSA feels light as a feather and doesn't prompt any conflicts with FC. [IMG]https://s10.postimg.org/gz2aut7c9/osu.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
