RE: Nessus scripting 2 [In reply to]

I hate dell laptops!

I have created my script (it is a version of plugin: 24236 The remote
host is running a vulnerable version of Symantec Antivirus.) My version
of the script, should provide a note with the active version if it is
not a vulnerable version of SAV. I run a build, and my script is
ignored. I presume I have not put it into a database folder or
something, that it needs, but I cannot find any documentation, on what I
have neglected to do. Can someone tell me what I have missed?

I'm not sure what the real difference is between your script and what
Tenable has already done with plugin #24236, sav_ver_check.nasl. [.Other
than that you're trying to generate a report regardless of the version
number.] Why don't you just use the existing plugin?

Actually no. You iterate over the versions listed in the array
vulnerable_prod_ver_list and generate a report for each regardless of
whether the installed version matches.
