Hi,

This plugin has been causing loads of apparently false positives for me, 
ever since we've been running non-optimised scans.

It seems to be relying on some IIS specific behaviour to scan for the 
dll even if you can't run it. I think when used against other webservers 
this causes false positives.

I am going to add an explicit check to the plugin, like:

if(!get_kb_item("www/iis")) exit(0);

Is this sensible?

Paul
