Why don't you look at the packet captures and find out what's triggering the
rule?  That'd be a MUCH better way to figure out whether this is a false
positive or not than just turning off the rule (you're screwed if it's NOT
false positive), or digging through boxes (a GIGANTIC waste of time if it IS
a false positive).

Subject: [Snort-users] Klez Incoming


  Everyday I am receiving about 2-3 "VIRUS Klez Incoming" alerts from
snort, but our virus protection program is not picking it up. I believe
this is a false positive as our virus defs are up to date. Before I rule
this as a false positive or start digging through peoples mailboxes
(privacy policy, blah blah), has any else had this experience??
