hm, underscores are a bit uncommon.
After some thinking, my preference is OpenVAS-Client.
This has the lowest potential for misinterpreting.
"NTP-Client" would be even more exact, but has

I've no one objects soon, I will import the code of NessusClient
into the OpenVAS repository as module "openvas-client".
