The remote host has the Symantec Antivirus Corporate installed. It has
been fingerprinted as :

Symantec Antivirus Corporate 10.1.0.394
DAT version : 20080825


Your link to 
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/security/Content/2006.05.25.html told 
me I had to look at the non-English link (sigh! Why do these people have 
separate products for different languages! [I know, I know...]) and that 
says the host is indeed running a vulnerable version.

So nessus was right - but 16193 was still wrong. Shouldn't it check the 
engine number?

Thanks!
