Hi,

 

various antivirus programs (Sophos, Avira) report infected files within Fortinet´s VPN files

[ul]
  • I downloaded FortiClientTools_5.2.3.0633.zip from Fortinet´s server and uploaded it to https://www.metascan-online.com/ and https://www.virustotal.com[ul]
  • According to these, those files are infected, aswell.
  • You can test easily it yourself...[/ul]
  • If I uploaded the file to http://www.fortiguard.com/antivirus/virus_scanner.html => It is said to be clean.
  • problem: the antivirus software blocks the access to VPN and our users cannot use the VPN anymore.[/ul]

    So who is right? All those different antivirus vendors or Fortinet? Does Fortinet provide infected files?
