      VulnDetect should also list Portable Applications (applications that can be executed without installation) and also offer updated for Portable Applications.

      I have many Portable Applications, like:

      • Mozilla Firefox
      • Google Chrome
      • Opera
      • System Explorer
      • Notepad++
      • … (many other smaller tools)

        If you plan to list portable applications you should show the text "(Portable)" behind the application name, like:

        • Firefox (Portable)
        • VLC media player (Portable)

        This way users see what applications are portable and what applications are installed.
