Normalize ip4 error

Hello,

I have installed Snort on Windows by following steps as discussed on Snort
Forum. However, it throws -> ERROR: d:\snort\etc\snort.conf(186) Unknown
preprocessor: "normalize_ip4"


I see the options in the snort.conf:

--------------------\

# Inline packet normalization. For more information, see README.normalize

# Does nothing in IDS mode

preprocessor normalize_ip4

preprocessor normalize_tcp: ips ecn stream

preprocessor normalize_icmp4

preprocessor normalize_ip6

preprocessor normalize_icmp6

--------------------/

The above lines are causing the errors, however the snort.conf states
“# Does nothing in IDS mode”. However, windows
is reading in the those configuration lines and trying to process
them, so it appears to be actually doing something?


Is hash tagging them (commenting) will sort this issue out? Please reply
soonest possible. Thnk You.
