Synopsis
Enumerates Start Menu software versions.
Description
This plugin enumerates the installed software version by interrogating information obtained from various registry entries and files on disk. This plugin provides a best guess at the software version and a confidence level for that version.
Note that the versions detected here do not necessarily indicate the actual installed version nor do they necessarily mean that the application is actually installed on the remote host. In some cases there may be artifacts left behind by uninstallers on the system.
Solution
Remove any applications that are not compliant with your organization's acceptable use and security policies.
