Where do you get this message? In a log, in a GUI, .etc > Maybe this is when the feed engine was built? If this is the plugins (that > we thought we updated), we keep updating, and getting the same time/date. When you finish a scan, there is a plugin (#19506) that lets you see when the plugins were updated. If this is where you are seeing the 'plugin feed' date issue, then your plugins indeed are not being updated. Perhaps you are not using Nessus 3 or maybe a Nessus 2 that came with a UNIX install that didn't have all of the plugins from Tenable. > Also we want to run "thorough tests", but I can find no documentation on > toggling this option on.

On Nessus.org, there is a link for Documentation. If you read the Nessus Client 3.2 Guide, on page 25-26 there is information abotu thorough tests and experimental scripts. If you client on the 'Advanced Tab' of the Nessus Client 3.2 interface, you will see these options as well.
