Hello Everyone,  We are migrating from Fortinet Antivirus to another product. This is the scenario: On our endpoint we do have FortiClient installed with both Antivirus and VPN SSL components (not managed with EMS) we want to keep the VPN functionalities but we need to disable the Antivirus component. Is there a way to interact with CLI in order to disable the Fortinet Antivirus? I've been looking for this kind of solution but I can't find anything useful. Thanks in advance

Wow. Thank you, our first and only comment in this forum is a useless answer, must be a great moment for you. Anyway I've found out a way to do that. Have a nice day.

Hello @Daxter1928, 
I'm sorry that you had to deal with such an unhelpful answer, i know how frustrating it could be. I myself am having the same issue right now on my Forticlient SSL VPN, i need to find a way just to disable the antivirus component. 

And i know it's been almost 4 years now, but can you still remember how you figured it out? and thanks.
