Oh, I forgot about that. This option isn't available under NessusWX so 
Nessus by default treats unscanned ports as open (ie, all of them since 
you're not running any scanners).
You can enable the option on the server side by setting 
"unscanned_closed" to "yes" in nessusd.conf and restarting nessusd. You 
will probably need to add the setting as I don't think it's there by 
default.
