Re: Nessus/Anti Virus Scanning ?

[Mike Gadoury]

OK, so I took another machine which does have Norton on it and ran the 
test. The two things I changed were the target for the new machine and 
the SMB login and password for the administrator user of the PC. Now I 
get this for the result of SMB Fully accessible registry (10428).

******************************************
Nessus did not access the remote registry completely,
because this needs to be logged in as administrator.
If you want the permissions / values of all the sensitive
registry keys to be checked for, we recommend that
you fill the 'SMB Login' options in the
'Prefs.' section of the client by the administrator
login name and password.
Risk factor : None
*********************************************
Its almost like its not using the login and password that I entered. I 
also Exported the scan to a file to see if the Login and Password were 
set. It seemed as though everything was correct

Any Ideas?

I initiate the scan against a well known client that never had Norton or

problem is that I don't.
   

The plugin will tell you if NAV or McAffee is installed but not running,
not if it's not installed at all.
