Snort bleeding edge alert: p2p kazaa - false positive?

Hello,

I keep seeing this alert, and when I look at the payload, I cant find what would trigger this alert in Snort. I'm 
assuming that it probably is spyware (could actually be p2p activity; although there is nothing in the payload, and 
only one occurrence usually). The alert is: BLEEDING-EDGE P2P Kaaza Media desktop p2pnetworking.exe Activity

The port is originating from :5004
destination is:1888  (huh)
