FortiClient for Mac OS - how to disable "components updated" notification permanently?

Very often (1-2 times per day?) FortiClientAgent shows a little banner style notification saying like "FortiClient components have been updated". I couldn't care less about this - especially as there is no way to know exactly what has been updated and what the effect is.

Therefore I have tried to turned off all notifications for FortiClientAgent in the Mac OS Notification settings, but it seems that FortiClient somehow manages to allow itself to show those pesky banner notifications again, because they keep coming back. Is this a bug or is there another way to permanently disable those notifications from the client? I have tried to look through preferences etc. but can't find anything.

I am on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C1514) and am using FortiClient 5.2.3.370.

I get around 10 notifications a day. It would be very nice if there was a way to turn off notifications.

Thank you.

Have you looked at your xml cfg

I believe to answer the 1st part if you don't want a update set the update value to 0

e.g

You can also set the logging of updates in the log_event and remove the schedule functions. if your still does not work set the update interval to the max of 24hours

Here's my conf file and grep update macbookken:~ kfelix$ cat Untitled.conf | grep update <update>0</update> <update> <update_action>disable</update_action> <scheduled_update> <update_interval_in_hours>24</update_interval_in_hours> </scheduled_update> </update> macbookken:~ kfelix$

That looks right, but I do not know the location of the config file on the mac client. Thanks for the tip, I'll look for the file now.
