Each result shown BrowserCheck with status as shown in green color with Up To Date much like in Mozilla Plugin Check and it offers the Fix it button like Microsoft for Update available and other results that does not have status (Up To Date )Green.
Mozilla Plugin failed to detect and offer the update button for Java where as Qualys BrowserCheck does shown update available for Java and also allows to download update by clicking the Fix it button redirects to Java homepage.I checked version of Java and Java Website shown the update available as did BrowserCheck.
However Qualys BrowserCheck failed to detect the remaining plugins office 2010 ,Google Update as Mozilla Plugin Check detects and shows plugins but asks us to research about them.
