The Digital Scalpel: An Analysis of FortiClient’s fcremove.exe
In the realm of cybersecurity, the installation of endpoint protection software is often a straightforward process, yet its removal can become a technical labyrinth. Fortinet’s FortiClient, a widely used suite for VPN connectivity and endpoint security, is notorious for leaving behind residual drivers, registry keys, and services after a standard uninstallation. To address this challenge, Fortinet provides a specialized command-line utility known as fcremove.exe.
