I don't think this is adequate.
The general rule is: If you have NVTs that seem to have problems of any type,
first thing is to ensure you have updated the Feed to the latest state --
because
fixes and improvements come in on a daily basis.
It never makes sense to complain about NVT problems with an outdated feed.

See above. You need a feed update!
Apart from that, if you interested in running OpenVAS seriously, users
should consider a platform that carries at least 2.0.
