I'm seeing a number of false positives when doing a full vulnerability scan
against a windows system using administrative privileges on the target. I
have ensured I have updated plugins. Examples:

14728 (Mozilla/Firefox, recommends upgrading to Firefox 0.10.0 -- the
installed version is 1.5.0.3)
14729 (Mozilla/Thunderbird, recommends upgrading to Thunderbird 0.8 -- the
installed version is 1.5)
16328 (WMP9, recommends installing an MS patch -- according to the
referenced MS article this doesn't apply to WinXP SP2)
16332 (MS OfficeXP, recommends installing a patch -- the installed version
is MS Office 2003)

The system in question has never had those vulnerable versions on it. Is
this known/expected behavior?
