Please allow to add multiple computers in the settings, so I can scan multiple computers for available updates.
This is very useful for families (in my family there are multiple computers and VMs), but also for companies.

Please show the scan results of all computers in the list of applications.
Show here a separate table for each computer.
And please show the computer name at top of each table (this is the reason why renaming a computer is so important).

When I installed the VulnDetect Agent on my computer I did not see anything about the agent (no visual indicator that the VulnDetect Agent is installed and running like a desktop icon or a icon in the system tray).
So please show a VulnDetect icon in the System Tray of Windows.

This icon is required for several other suggestions, like:

OLLI_S

It would be very useful when I could exclude specific drives and also specific folders from being scanned.

I have two external backup drives, that are connected only Saturdays (for backup purpose) but while they are connected a scan could start and this way the scan takes very long and also backed up portable applications are found (this inflates the list of installed applications).

But I also have a large folder containing many photos that I also would like to exclude.
I know that photos are not detected but VulnDetect scans all folders and subfolders and excluding folders could save time.

OLLI_S

The VulnDetect icon in the System tray should show a notification window telling me:

Number of available Windows Updates
Number of available updates with high risk
Number of available updates with normal (low) risk
Number of end-of-life applications installed

In this dialog there should be a button "Show Details...".
When the user clicks it, then Open the VulnDetect website from the VulnDetect Agent.

For business users this feature (showing a notification window) should be configurable.
So the administrator can allow of forbid this feature.
If the administrator has disabled this feature, then the administrator gets an email with the scan result (also this is configurable).

The software-update tool that I am currently using shows the text "(64 Bit)" to indicate that an application is installed in the 64-Bit version.

This information is interesting to know, so it should also be displayed behind the application name.

I am not sure if there could be different versions available of the same application in 32-Bit and 64-Bit.
If yes, then it is important that you separate between 32-Bit and 64-Bit.

In VulnDetect you show the status "Unsafe" but this can have different reasons:

User has an older version installed that has known vulnerabilities (user has to update)
User has the actual version installed but there are still open vulnerabilities (user can not do anything here)

It would be useful when you show why an application is unsafe.
For users it is important to know if they can do anything or not.

So they need to know "Your app is up-to-date but still has vulnerabilities".
Otherwise I have 5 apps with the status "unsafe" although they are all up-to-date (and I don't understand this and blame VulnDetect).

OLLI_S

At the moment you have the status values:

Safe (the application is up-to-date)
Unsafe (a security update is available)
Unknown (update-status can not be determined)

It would be good when you add the additional status Outdated (a normal non-security related update is available)

With the status Outdated VulnDetect could report all available updates, not just security updates.
So VulnDetect could replace all update managers out there in the market.

@KI108
Tom explained in the https://vulndetect.org/topic/150/solved-opera-installed-version-not-detected/5 what the status "Unknown" means.
This is the reason why I suggested Explain the Labels in the List of Applications (so you might up-vote this suggestion).

OLLI_S

When I right-click on the VulnDetect icon in the System tray you should offer the entry "Start Full System Scan" in the context menu.
So users can start the scan with two mouse clicks.

While the scan is in progress, you should show a little floating window with a small animation.
After the scan is finished you should open the website with the scan results (the list of applications).
Maybe you automatically log the user in (so the user does not have to enter the login credentials).

For business users this feature (start a scan manually) should be configurable.
So the administrator can allow of forbid this feature.

OLLI_S

I clicked in the list of applications next to a link (I wanted to click the link but missed it) and suddenly the entry expanded (so I was able to see the Company and the file path).

I did not expect this because the UI (user interface) does not give me any information that the entries can be expanded and collapsed.
The UI should give users the information when he can interact with it.

So please change the mouse pointer to a hand pointer (so users see that the entry can be clicked).
And please add in front of every entry an icon that indicates that the entry can be expanded (for example the icon ">").
If an entry is expanded then change the icon to "v" (indicates that the expanded entry can be collapsed).

Notes:

On the Website it says "Download Beta"
The installer file is called NVIDIA_app_beta_v10.0.2.207.exe
In the application there is no "Beta" text shown (see screen shot above)
This app will replace the GeForce Experience and also the NVIDIA Control Panel.
See: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/nvidia-app-beta-download/
While installing, I was asked if I want to take over my data from GeForce Experience.
I agreed, so the NVIDIA app replaced eForce Experience on my system.
