@Tadas247

Please tell me/us, do you using all the features by FortiClient or something like Web-Protection only?
Immunet is your 2nd AV running as "companion" even in real-time with full features enabled?

You may like trying this tool below, it's even useful to check for broken leftover as autoruns or drivers of software already uninstalled from your system.
Another highly recommended feature for security purpose, automatically scanning all files for (possible) detection on VirusTotal.

I using all the features by FortiClient and yes Immunet is running in real time with default settings. Maybe I should turn off FortiClient antivirus protection and leave it to Immunet?

It's always up to the user, but it's highly recommended running only one AV as real-time protection to avoid conflicts to detect the same file as malware.
From my personal experience, FortiClient should be more reliable to protect users than Immunet...
