I'm seeing this as well, on a Nessus VM I've been using (and regularly updating) successfully for the past 6 months. Updated my plugins today and scan.exe is crashing.

This morning I installed another copy on an internal Xen virtual XP machine to scan from a different point of view. Each time I tried to scan, scan.exe would crash with following attempts giving the error "Can not connect to Nessus Server!". I then moved the install to a virtual 2003 server and had the same results. I considered that there may have been a plugin update since my install yesterday so I updated the external XP machine which worked fine yesterday. After the plugin update, it is now doing the same thing as my internal machines. Could the current update contain a corrupt plugin? Is anyone else seeing this? Jason A.
