I am seeing this as well. I thought we were in good shape, ran this tool
and... EEEP!!! 660 infected boxes~! All showing up on my report that assures
me they are patched! Any way to tweak this so it reports a bit more
faithfully?

All,
I just ran this scanner and am picking up more false positives than real
infections. Not only did it pick up all my Macs (they arent even running
Dave or have any SMB shares), it picked up my indigo and my Snap Server
(tell me how a snap server gets infected by this?). I realize that
diagnosing these things is a shot in the dark - but, telling me "open
guest share" when the machine is not sharing anything (or even listening
on 139) is kinda a mis-nomer an a cause for panic (130 "infected" out of
253 possible)...anyone else seen this kind of false positive from the
scanner?

Subject: New Version of Retina Nimba Scanner
A new version of Nimda Scanner has just been posted to the eEye web site
that will also detect open shares on systems which is a common trait of an
infection.
