We are having a similar problem, but in reverse. In some cases,
Nessus will report that a patch is missing, but the patch has been
superseded by another patch which HAS been applied. The same thing
also sometimes occurs when a patch is rolled into a service pack.
Nessus has the appropriate logic to detect superseded patches -- make
sure your plugins are up-to-date.
Also, if you give it admin credentials, then a file version check
will be done, hence nullyfing the risk of wrongly detecting a
superseded patch.
I'd be interested in the specific list of patches which you say
create false positives and knowing how recent your plugin set it.
