Regain control over the annoying GlobalProtect macOS install

I need to use GlobalProtect because it's becoming the only VPN to access resources in my school. The VPN client is simple enough, but it does two annoying things:

1. Registers itself to autostart on login
2. Doesn't provide you with a simple 'quit' action

Here I'll show you how I fixed both issues in macOS 12.2 (Monterey).

ClamAV Setup Notes

Context

ClamAV can be used in a few different ways. Most importantly, it provides the ability to scan files in realtime (on-access) or to scan the file system periodically.

I tried configuring ClamAV to both perform on-access virus scanning and to perform nightly full filesystem scanning. Using the on-access option did not prove to be very useful, however a scheduled full system scan seems to be of value.

Here is my story.
