FortiClient VPN is managed software, so simply trying to uninstall it will fail. You must first shut down the service to disable the management connection, and then you can successfully run the uninstaller application. This guide will walk you through that process.
The instructions below apply to both Tarleton managed Macs and personal Macs. An administrator account is required to run the uninstall.
Shutdown FortiClient
Find and click on the FortiClient icon in the upper menu bar. The icon is shaped like a shield.
Click on Shutdown FortiClient. The menu bar icon should now disappear.
Uninstall FortiClient
Go to the Applications folder and find FortiClientUninstaller.app.
Double-click on the FortiClient uninstall app.
In the app’s window, click Uninstall.
You may be prompted to make changes to the FortiClientAgent. With the pop-up window, enter your Mac’s administrator username and password, then click Update Settings.
The app will tell you when FortiClient has been removed. Click Done.
