Here is that rule now (It hasn't been shipped yet)

# alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET $HTTP_PORTS (msg:"APP-DETECT Absolute Software Computrace outbound 
connection - search.namequery.com"; flow:to_server,established; content:"Host|3A| search.namequery.com|0D 0A|"; 
fast_pattern:only; http_header; content:"TagId: "; http_header; metadata:policy security-ips drop, ruleset community, 
service http; reference:url,www.absolute.com/en/products/absolute-computrace; 
reference:url,www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-09/ORTEGA/BHUSA09-Ortega-DeactivateRootkit-PAPER.pdf; 
classtype:trojan-activity; sid:26287; rev:3;)

This is computrace's "laptop lo-jack" software.  I've moved it from MALWARE-CNC to APP-DETECT, changed the message and 
took it out of the balanced policy.
