Actually, this is an authenticated (credentials supplied) scan, so I guess I really only need to select "netstat portsscanner (WMI)" as the port scanner to use. The only plugins selected are the ones I found using the search for the word "skype".
When I scan the one machine that has Skype installed, I get nothing at all returned. I'm wondering if there is a plugin that I should have selected that the Skype detection is dependent on. Any ideas?

Skype can run on any port. Therefore, no matter how minimal you want your scanning policy to be, you'll need to enable a port scanner on all 65k ports to then be able to detect it. -- Renaud _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
