MS03-039 Plugin and WinXP SP2

[Jason Haar]

I think I've figured out the problem. Some or all of the XP SP2-installed
boxes have reduced registry access to that section! So the unpriviledged
account I was using to run the scan can no longer return those keys.

Weird, other registry lookup failures appear to be caught by Nessus with
statements like "this may be a false positive if the account you are using
doesn't have administrative access". 

Should those key lookups also contain such a statement?
