Hi Travis, As a customer, you can always open a support ticket with us with these sorts of questions. For auditing anti-virus, you should read these two blog entries which outline what Nessus can and can't check and what we're it is looking for: http://blog.tenablesecurity.com/2008/07/auditing-anti-v.html http://blog.tenablesecurity.com/2007/02/auditing_antivi.html Check 16193 only reports if there is a problem, not if there is a good working AV solution. If you want to simply look for a certain AV solution such as Symantec, you can create a .audit policy and perform a compliance scan which will report any system not running Symantec by looking at the running process, registry setting or anyone other parameter you want to.
