    Katana, it is a continues monitoring program, not a scanner. And when you start it, it gives the current results in a matter of seconds. If that doesn't happen with you than double click on the Secunia icon in the taskbar, that should pop-up the results

    I had 2 insecure programs and 1 end of life

    I know it is a continuous scanner, but it would not give any results

    Please wait while first inspection completes

    Hey, it's a BETA, so it can have issues. But a New full System Inspection on my main ( fast ) system took place in about 1 minute. So normaly it should be a matter of minutes, not hours
