Most of my wish list comes from PSI v2
- Categorize programs that have security vulnerabilities separately from those that are just bug fixes and feature updates. Best would be a simple filter. I could look at just security vulnerabilities normally, but would flip a switch to see bug fixes/ feature updates
- scan entire system by default, not just installed programs ( in order to pick up things like portable apps, apps not yet installed, etc)
- ability to scan only selected parts of the file system, should I choose to
- ability to exclude anything signed by Microsoft (or any certificate of my choosing) based on the idea that Microsoft will make any fixed programs available through Windows Update anyway, so I don't really need to be bothered by a vulnerability detection program
- group multiple instances of a vulnerable program in the listing and allow me to expand that section when I want
- flag programs that have built-in auto-update capabilities. I could then choose to white-list them if I wanted to configure them properly to receive updates by themselves.
- ability to see exactly where any program is located in the file system
- ability to "white-list" or ignore any program I want
- ability to send details of any program not currently being monitored to the vulnerability detection company for possible inclusion in an update
- ability to query the vulnerability system to see if any program is included in their detection
- option of having updates installed automatically.
- when an update cannot be installed automatically, guidance in where to go / how to install the required update
- report on programs with security vulnerabilities for which a patch is not yet available (zero-days). This should be categorized separately from other things (patches available or bugfix/feature updates.
- automatic scanning once a week with ability to manually call for a scan
- tray icon that has different states such as "scan not performed in xx days", "programs with zero-day vulnerability detected", "programs with feature updates / bug fixes available"
