Re: Port scan data and Plugins

if you disable scanning all together and then turn on the option for
treating unscanned ports as closed, not many (maybe none IIRC) of the
plugins will work correctly.

If you leave that off, I think it will hit the ports in the plugins IIRC.

might make sense to figure out which ports the application is running on and
see if you can avoid those instead.
