We are having a similar problem, but in reverse.  In some cases, Nessus
will report that a patch is missing, but the patch has been superseded
by another patch which HAS been applied.  The same thing also sometimes
occurs when a patch is rolled into a service pack.

 

Rate of occurance: out of approximately 150 Windows 2000 and 2003
servers (mostly 2003), we have around 10-12 verified (via Shavlik and
manual inspection) false-positives.

I am having an issue with Nessus not finding re released MSFT patches,
such as MS06-040, where as shavlik does.  It finds the other missing
patches fine.

How are the MSFT plugins generated and is there a provision to cover
re-releases that have a different file version ?
