Hi Khaled, The version of Burp you are using is nearly two years old and, at that point in time, browser powered scanning was still in the experimental stage and was not turned on by default (your scan would be using the legacy scanning method which does not cope at all well with more modern navigational techniques). Are you able to update your version of Burp Professional to the latest version and attempt your scan again? Using the latest version of Burp means that scans will both be using browser powered scanning by default and also that you will be able to take advantage of the improvements that we have made to browser powered scanning in the intervening time period.

Thanks for your replay, I updated my version to the last version of burp but after selecting the target I still get the same results so I need to change options for start? best regards Khaled
