<p dir="auto">In my vision the VulnDetect Agent is present via a <strong><a href="https://vulndetect.org/topic/43/show-vulndetect-icon-in-the-system-tray">small icon in the system tray</a></strong> (with the good-looking icon).<br />
When I right-click on the icon, then a context-menu is shown.<br />
In this context menu the user has some entries like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Start a system scan</li>
<li>Report a problem</li>
<li>Request an application</li>
<li>Information</li>
</ul>
<h3>Start a system scan</h3>
<p dir="auto">When the user selects <strong>Start a system scan</strong> then the VulnDetect Agent performs a full system scan.<br />
There might be a limitation that only one scan every 15 minutes is possible.</p>
<h3>Report a problem</h3>
<p dir="auto">When the user selects <strong>Report a problem</strong> then a new dialog is shown.</p>
<p dir="auto">First the user needs to select the <strong>application</strong> (like in the Toolbox for VulnDetect).<br />
An edit field is shown where user can enter/paste the file-name including the file-path manually.<br />
Behind the field there is a button “Select” so users can also select the application (vis a “Open-File-Dialog”).</p>
<p dir="auto">There is also a button “Get Application Details” that <strong>extracts the version information</strong> from the EXE file and also the <strong>application icon</strong>.<br />
This information is displayed like it is done in the Toolbox for VulnDetect.<br />
The fields are read-only but users can copy information to the clipboard.</p>
<p dir="auto">There is also a large edit field where users can enter the description of the problem.<br />
This field is disabled (greyed out) until the user pressed “Get Application Details”.<br />
So first he needs to extract the version information, then he can enter the description.</p>
<p dir="auto">There are also two <strong>optional</strong> fields for <strong>Name</strong> and for <strong>Email address</strong>.<br />
When these fields are filled, the user gets a feedback when the problem is solved.<br />
Here also the registration data (that is entered when installing VulnDetect) can be used.</p>
<p dir="auto">When the user clicks on the “Send” button at the bottom, all information (<strong>including the version information and also the icon</strong>) is sent to the VulnDetect servers.<br />
It is up to you if you create forum postings from these reports or if you keep them internal.<br />
If you create a forums posing, you should email the URL to the user.<br />
It is important that the user gets feedback when the problem is solved.</p>
<h3>Request an application</h3>
<p dir="auto">Also here a form is shown where the user first has to select the application (see above).<br />
There are also additional fields that are required for an app-request (here you can orientate on the fields that I am using) and also a comments field..<br />
When the user clicks on “send” then all information (<strong>including the version information and also the icon</strong>) is sent to the VulnDetect servers.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also here the user can enter the username and email address and gets a notification, when the app is added.<br />
And it is up to you if you create a forums posting or keep it internal, but feedback is important.</p>
<h3>Information</h3>
<p dir="auto">Shows an info-window with the version information.<br />
Here the version number should be in an edit field, so users can copy it to the clipboard (like in Mozilla Firefox).</p>
<h3>Note</h3>
<p dir="auto">This topic was created very quickly, so it might be possible that I have to work it over.</p>
