Certainly.  SecurePoint provides an archive of the list that is
searchable.  It's referenced from the Nessus website, under the
documentation section -- <http://msgs.securepoint.com/nessus/>. 

Google is another alternative too.

There was a post similar to yours back in early July, unfortunately at a
time when the SecurePoint archives weren't being updated.  I suspected
at the time that those three plugins are oversights and should no longer
be included by default in generated config files.  The first two
currently are not in the scanners category and the latter refered to
ftp_bounce_scan.nes, which was dropped back in February because it was
prone to crash. 

At this point, you should simply remove them from the SCANNER_SET block.
