I uninstall Nessus and reinstalled it but those configuration files are stored somewhere and they were right there after reinstalling it. I tried this twice with the same result. I edited the registry and removed all the Nessus or Tenable entries that I could find and deleted the directories in My Documents and Program Files the second time and stiil the configs from the first install were there.

hi Mike,

Are you installing on Windows 2000 or XP?

When you have Nessus installed, do you have a port listening on tcp/1241?

Is the Tenable Nessus service running?

Do you have any other security software besides the Windows XP Firewall?
