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:
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.
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.
The VulnDetect icon in the System tray should show a notification window telling me:
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).
At the moment you have the status values:
It would be good when you add the additional status Outdated (a normal non-security related update is available)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.
In VulnDetect you show the status "Unsafe" but this can have different reasons:
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).
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).

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).

The correct app-icon is now shown.
@Tom: Thank you for fixing this!
On my system Microsoft Visual Studio is detected in version 16.10.2 (16.10.31410.357).
The version number is correct!
The name in VulnDetect is Microsoft Visual Studio.
The name of the desktop icon is Visual Studio Community 2019.
The entry in the start-menu is called Visual Studio 2019.
So, @Tom, will you adjust the name?
Currently you detect version 9.0.2.16299 and this is correct.
Thank you, @Tom, for fixing this!
OK, I mark the topic as Added and move it to the category Added App Requests.
