Detects insecure versions of applications installed :- Top antivirus does so. Like AVG 2011 {purchased one} does so.

Verifies that all microsoft patches are applied :- do we really need this if we update our security updates directly from microsoft, {Just anxious to learn how "secunia" differs from microsoft security update works}
Assists you in updating your system and applications :- Well why one need other application for update process, when applications are integrated itself with this feature.

Runs through your browser. No installation or download is required :- Good feature but what is java is not installed in system or browser, do they provide alternative method too.
