nessus scan errors

Hello,
I think I've asked this before, and I turned safe checks off, but am still seeing the same message:
*** The plugins that have the ability to crash remote services or hosts
have been disabled. You should activate them if you want your security
audit to be complete
I'd like my security audit to be complete--how do I enable these plugins?
Thanks,

If you're indeed willing to enable plugins that intentionally try to
be destructive (for example, crashing a service or causing a kernel
panic on a target), then disable safe checks, either by setting
'safe_checks' to "no" in the client config or unchecking "Safe checks"
in the client.
