I don't have $7000 plus the $1200 a year in my budget for one scanning tool.Nessus was recently ported to the Win32 platform by Cenzic (http://www.cenzic.com/nessusport.html). Not super-stable yet, but you can work around the issues (NessusD needs to be restarted between each scan).
Based on: http://mail.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus/2005-August/msg00194.html the Cenzic port seems like it is severly limited in terms of which plugins it can legally run. -- - Josh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner: Hackers are concentrating their efforts on attacking applications on your website.
