You probably have this setting set into nessusd.conf, but it can be
overriden by the client. If you use the NessusClient interface, make
sure that the option "Log details of the scan the server" (in the
"Options" tab) is disabled.
If you use the scan in command-line, make sure that this setting is
set to 'no' in your ~/.nessusrc file.
