Problems with Secunia Online Software Inspector

Question

Is it just me, or has anyone else had problems with this online scanner:
http://secunia.com/software_inspector/

For the past day or so, it has stopped detecting any of my applications (normally it would detect about 10 or so).

Secunia's PSI (RC3) continues to work without problem.

same here (even on the thorough scan) --- nothing showing   (for those who don't use this, it normally lists the secure/updated products... but not at the moment)

It didn't work for me either. It has in the past.

Tried it today and it works for me. It detected eleven app's. Java , Flash Adobe reader,WinXP SP3 etc. Thorough scan found fourteen app's.

Here's the likely explanation: 'Secunia has updated the Secunia Online Software Inspector with new rules for detecting insecure software'.http://www.dozleng.com/updates/index.php?act=calendar&cal_id=1&code=showevent&event_id=45728

Wow, Secunia Online is quick on the draw!

As is my habit, I visited it first thing today, and was alerted to several vulnerabilities in IE7, OE6, and XP/sp3. It rattled me for a minute until I realized these were just today's Patch Tuesday updates, fresh out of the box. (By contrast, Belarc Advisor has yet to update their security definitions to account for todays MSU fixes).
