False Positives?

Subject: False Positives?
Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2005 14:23:25 -0600
Hi, I ran a scan and on several win2K servers I am seeing 11 HIGH
Vulnerabilities for Apache and SSL , for e.g:
 
The remote host appears to be running a version of
Apache which is older than 1.3.28

There are several flaws in this version, which may allow
an attacker to disable the remote server remotely.
You should upgrade to 1.3.28 or newer.

*** Note that Nessus solely relied on the version number
*** of the remote server to issue this warning. This might
*** be a false positive

Solution : Upgrade to version 1.3.28
See also : http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement.html
Risk factor : High
CVE : CVE-2003-0460, <http://cgi.nessus.org/cve.php3?cve=CVE-2003-0460,>
CVE-2002-0061 <http://cgi.nessus.org/cve.php3?cve=CVE-2002-0061> 
BID : 8226

 
Are these false positives ? How do I not scan for these?  What si the
Plugin ID to disable?
