Hi Kamlesh, I think if we had a competition for the maximum number of hosts scanned during one scan, you'd see more than a few entries with folks who have scanned more than a class B. We have customers that regularly scan 1000s of computers with one Nessus scanner. If your report is opening up in Internet Explorer, you are likely still running the original windows client that shipped with Nessus 3.0.x. If you look for a program named 'Nessus Client' you will be able to use this instead. This client can let you see the results of a scan in progress and does not render reports in HTML by default. Instead it uses a native display in Windows.
