Plz anybody can guide.I see this msg after installation when I start virtual machine .I am using VMware workstation for virtualization.

Are you referring to OpenVAS? Have you tried openvas-stop, then openvas-start?

Hi ^_^ , to fix that problem Do This Steps:
First open ( root: Terminal ) and type in the console comands bellow .....
# apt-get install openvas
# openvas-setup
# netstat-antp
# openvas-start
# apt-get update

AND that's it ^_^ BYE GOOD LUCK .....

Tried, this but scans still hang at 1%. Anything else to try?

Hallo Sean , Tell me something, you Run Kali on Virtual Machine or You Installed Direct to Disk ? And , Did You check Sources List ??? IF NOT fallow this steps :

1. Open Root Terminal and write this ----> leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list and Hit ENTER
2. Then they will Open You one File whit name Sources.list
3. Remove existing config and put this following lines:

##Regular repositories
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

##Source repositories
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

3.Save and close the file, and write in root konsole next :

apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist upgrade -y and then do steps Before what I puted ... If that not fix the problem contact me again . Bye ^_^

And don't forget to Reboot after doing this thinks . :)
