I think there's a problem with the detection of Mozilla installs. The algorithm in mozilla_org_installed.nasl seems to be: Go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\Mozilla Get the value of CurrentVersion Go 2 levels deeper to CurrentVersion\Main Get the program path from PathToExe The problem is that the value of CurrentVersion I see on machines here is often not right. For example, I've seen 1.9 when 1.7.13 (en) is installed 1.8.1.15 or 1.8.1.14 when almost any of the 1.7.x series is installed The end result is that Mozilla is not always detected. A similar algorithm seems to work for Seamonkey and Firefox, so I think the Mozilla installer messed up at some point. _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
