FortiClient 6.XXX
Is there a way to disable vulnerability scanner in FortiClient 6.xx?
Also, what happens with what it finds? Does it automatically update/remediate or just notifies? the reason I ask is that most of the time computers are managed by another application, and we have an update schedule.

I just figured to change some of the applications I can unlock from the lower left side, however Vulnerability doesn't have configurable settings.
I don't have anything that needs updating, but I am still wondering.

Hi David,
You can control Vulnerability Scan settings via XML for standalone client, or via FortiClent EMS for managed one.
Please check XML Guide Fortinet Docs Library - FortiClient 6.0.2 XML Reference
Thank you,

Thanks Paul.
So, I exported the settings, and that showed me how it is setup.
This means that although it is enabled, it won't run by default a scan, and even if it runs, there is no remediation, just information.
However it will run when there is a signature update.
This actually helps me a lot.
I just tested it though and it enables display of vulnerability scan and the vulnerability scan button when the client is restarted (either by fully exiting the application or restarting the computer)
