Thanks Nicolas I wish I could, what I have is the report from a third party that ran NeWT and scanned several servers (all built from the same image). Generated the report and sent it to management. Now I have to figure out what is false and what is real.

I've been reading that having both optimize_test and safe_checks enable can generate fail hits and I know they had both enable.


optimize_test MUST be enabled.
safe_checks must be enabled too in most cases (else it may crash your services).


The flash issue only shows up on one server, just like i have a hit for the Guest account has to many privileges only a single hit on a one server.



If the plugin has reported an error, I can only suppose 3 things :

- the version of NeWT used for the scan was old
- plugins were not up to date. Plugin 11952 had not been updated and the regex was not working since 10 months
- Flash was installed on this system.
