Hi Kamlesh,

I think if we had a competition for the maximum number of hosts scanned during 
one
scan, you'd see more than a few entries with folks who have scanned more than a
class B. We have customers that regularly scan 1000s of computers with one 
Nessus
scanner.

If your report is opening up in Internet Explorer, you are likely still running
the original windows client that shipped with Nessus 3.0.x. If you look for a
program named 'Nessus Client' you will be able to use this instead. This client
can let you see the results of a scan in progress and does not render reports in
HTML by default. Instead it uses a native display in Windows.
