Below are the key items I would like to see in a security checker replacing PSI:
- Focus on security and end of life status, if you decide to include bug fixes and updates please provide a toggle to filter in/out the bug fixes and updates so security and end of life can be viewed together by themselves
- If initialization takes longer than a few seconds, show a progress bar to indicate program is still initializing and not hung
- Provide security score, it motivates user to get the security fixes installed
- Have a colored ICON in the taskbar that reflects status, ie green is 100% secure, yellow/red security needs attention, grey scan is needed
- Provide a listing of all programs and their status: Program Name, Number Installed, Installed Version, Secure Version, Security Criticality, Status (all similar to PSI v3)
- UI should be GUI not line
- Provide an ignore capability to exclude programs from reporting and put them at the bottom of the program list
- Provide ability to ignore reporting on Microsoft security patches
- Provide ability to have program install security patches as individually requested
- Provide a log of patches installed by the program
- Provide weekly scans automatically and manual scans as requested by user
