WestCoastJustin had a few a good ones. Basically, show me more so that I know why I should go further. I like the list, I like the box for entering a technology, but you already know what browser and OS I am using. Keep that list and box, perhaps on one side, but show me another pane with some information about potential vulnerabilities on my machine. Start with what you know - my OS and browser - then have common but unconfirmed SW, e.g., Adode (a good bet), either MS Office or Libre/Open Office (pretty likely I have at least one), Pages, etc. (in my case, eh?). Add a third section to that right-hand pane with some user profiles, e.g., "are you a developer (vulnerabilities in brew? npm?)? an officer worker (typical office stuff)? a designer (advanced Adobe products)?" You could go a long way with those, without having to scan my machine. Get some cred, write a scanner, offer that too. I might use it. (I think it was CNet that used to have a service like that for Windows - I really liked, but they dropped it before I dropped Windows, and that was a long time ago.)

Use a sensible default for "score". Using "any" there is so much noise that it's discouraging. The bottom page is somehow broken in the latest Firefox, the paragraph exits from the gray box. I don't want to register to receive the updates, do you have other ideas about the notifications? If you like your product, don't give up.

I was involved in creating something similar a couple of years ago - http://www.websecuritywatch.com/ http://www.websecuritywatch.com/ My advise would be - aggregate! There most annoying aspect in security news tracking is wading through multiple iterations/announces about the absolutely same vulnerability. Of course that type of aggregation is much easier said than done :)
