No, the plugin was removed from the plugin feed rather than zero'd out.
However, if you were to run uninstall-nessus, such as when upgrading to
a new version, all plugins would be removed.
Any explanation to help clarify that process is appreciated so I can
fully understand the processes which might allow the vendor to be using
a plugin pulled 2 years ago....
The plugin was removed shortly before October 2005 so it's not quite 2
years ago.
You should really be talking with the service provider about this. There
are a number of possible explanations, not all of which are "bad".
