Just a quick update, it has updated to the latest database and is no longer showing kernel error.
It has no moved onto " Analysis of application protocols will not function" An error occured while starting services. Analysis of application protocols (POP3, HTTP) will not function.
Under Setup "Web Access Protection" shows Non-Functional.
Pretty worried know that my web security has been knocked out.
About to start the online scanner as suggested and will move on to the other steps, thanks for the help so far guys.
Will update soon
