Sorry, but I just really love Nessus. It's got to be the best tool I have used. Of course I really know nothing about it, and so to my naivet� mind these changes were quite disconcerting. I felt that others out there probably felt the same way, so I tried to speak up to voice my feelings. Since apparently I was wrong and no one else cares about the impending death of the greatest scanning tool of all time - I'll shut up.

Apparently, no one has ever taught you good manners... Renaud and his company have put a lot of effort into this to accomplish the best product on the market. Apparently, also, this is not good enough for you. If you have never heard of the word *sharing*, I suggest you have a good look in your Webster and understand what this is all about. As far as I'm concerned, I will keep using Nessus as long as it remains the good product it is today. If this changes two years down the road, I will reassess the situation and see which product offers me the best value for my money... but that's *not* now. And *now*, I see no point in complaining. Have a nice day :-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hyland Jeremy J CONT KPWA wrote: > I am most annoyed because I have seen this trend before.
