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It would be good when you add the additional status Outdated (a normal non-security related update is available)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).
@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).
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).
In the list of applications you should add a column "Available Version" where you show the version number of available updates.
For Firefox the available version would be 60.0.1 while the installed version is 59.0.3.
If an application is Up-To-Date, then display "Up-To-Date" instead of a version number in the column "Available Version".
@Tom The filename of the installer is: tick_win_setup_release_x64_4508.exe
So the proper version is 4.5.0.8
Name of the app:
TickTick
Developer:
Appest.com
Website:
https://www.ticktick.com/
Download Site:
https://www.ticktick.com/about/download
Version number displayed in the app:
App-Icon
Notes:
At the bottom of the website you see the company TickTick Team, but if you open Appest.com (the name in the EXE file) you see a page with very little content, but in the layout of the TickTick website.
So I would suggest to use Appest.com, but I am going to ask the developers of TickTick
The version number in the EXE file is 1.0.0.0, but in Settings -> About the version number is 4.5.0.8.
I already contacted them and suggested to write the correct version number in the EXE file.
Here the information extracted from the EXE file:
File name and path: C:\Program Files (x86)\TickTick\TickTick.exe
Product Name: ticktick_WPF
Internal Name: TickTick.exe
Original Filename: TickTick.exe

Todoist is now detected by VulnDetect and the version number 8.2.0 is also correct.
@Tom: Thank you for adding this app!

Notes:
The version number shown in the User-Menu of the app shows a very strange version number:
When I stared the app yesterday, I received the info, that version 8.2.0 is available:
In the EXE file there is also the version 8.2.0 stored (after the update was installed).
So I assume, that version 8.2.0 is the official version of the app.

I talked to @Tom about this feature and his answer was, that this feature is not requested by any other customer (therefore it has a lower priority).
Currently VulnDetect only has a label for "Insecure" applications, for normal updates (that are not security related), there is no separate label available.
You have to expand each app manually to see available updates.
I think it would be very useful to see, which apps have updates available.
Here the mock up I created some years ago:
If you also think, this feature is useful, please upvote it (by clicking the "^" icon in the first posting in this topic).
Thank you!
OK, then I mark this issue as solved.
Colour Contrast Analyser is now detected by VulnDetect and the version number 3.2.1 is also correct.
@Tom: Thank you for fixing this!
@Tom This app is marked as Insecure with a CVSS Score of 6.5.
So, is there an update available that I should install (the link at the download icon)?
I get this shown in VulnDetect:
Installed Version: 22.0.1.5
Recommended: 22.180.5.1
When I click the blue "Download" icon, then I get to:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19351/windows-10-and-windows-11-wi-fi-drivers-for-intel-wireless-adapters.html
Here is version 22.200.2 available.
When I start the Windows 11 settings and go to Installed Apps, then I do not see this "App":
When I go to the old control panel, I see only:
@Tom Please provide feedback!
As you can see at the GitHub repository, there is no 32-Bit version available:
