Thanks for the info, I did a search for those files on all of the hard drives 
and the search came up empty. 

I think the plugin that is generating the hit is plugin 11952

FamilyWindows
Nessus Plugin ID11952
Bugtraq ID

CVE ID



Description:

The remote host is running a version of flash player older than 7.0.19.0.

This version can be abused in conjunction with several flaws in the web
browser to read local files on this system.

To exploit this flaw, an attacker would need to lure a user of this system
into visiting a rogue website containing a malicious flash applet.

Solution : Upgrade to version 7.0.19.0 or newer.

That's the issue, flash is not installed. Does it query the version 
of a DLL, how does it determine if Flash is installed. 


The nasl script gets the following file versions : 

%systemroot%\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash.ocx 
%systemroot%\System32\Macromed\Flash\SWFlash.ocx
