They are the scanners. Briefly :
10180 = ping_host.nasl (ie: should we ping the remote host ?)
10331 = ftp bounce scan
10335 = builtin nmap tcp connect scan
10336 = nmap wrapper (ie: calls nmap(1))
10796 = scan for labrea tarpitted hosts (will declare the host as
non-existant if it appears to be a laBrea host)
10841 = snmp portscan (don't do a portscan, ask the remote host for the
list of open ports, via SNMP)
I don't know what these are, they are problably deprecated plugins, left
over from older versions :
10277
10278
10834
I don't recommand setting everything to yes though - there's no real
need to portscan a host more than once.
