Hi guys,

I am looking for a host based vulnerability scanning application.

I Nessus and other tools scan can network facing application and tell
you whether they are vulnerable or not but I am looking for a host
based solution similar to Secunia PSI
On Windows, consider Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA),
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/cc184924. MBSA will also
work over the network if the correct credentials are supplied, the
host firewall is open, and remote registry access is granted (IIRC).
