I'm running with NessusWX 1.4.5 and couldn't find this option "Consider unscanned ports as closed" which you mentioned. Is there a similar setting in NessusWX?

Oh, I forgot about that. This option isn't available under NessusWX so Nessus by default treats unscanned ports as open (ie, all of them since you're not running any scanners).


You can enable the option on the server side by setting "unscanned_closed" to "yes" in nessusd.conf and restarting nessusd. You will probably need to add the setting as I don't think it's there by default.
