Fw: Error: Unknown Class Type

[Dionne Queen <ddd1236 () yahoo com>]

I had the same problem before. It has to do the preprocessors and yes, I commented out all the suggested white list 
references.
Thanks. Need help/advice
I am now trying to capture/save packets in the log file:
c:\snort\bin snort -i 2 -de -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf -l c:\snort\log
Getting the same error message: ERROR: c:\snort\rules\app-detect (33) Unknown class type: web-application-attackFatal 
error, quitting.-Dionne

 I was practicing doing alerts mostly through the day:
c:\snort\bin> snort -i 2 -c c:\snort\etc\snort.conf -A console
Maybe I was doing this too long, because now I am receiving the following error message:
ERROR: c:\snort\rules\app-detect (33) Unknown class type: web-application-attackFatal error, quitting.
Now, now snort does want to produce any alerts. I did not change anything in the configuration file.Should I just let 
Snort rest? I don't know. I am a newbie. I do not know why I am receiving this error message when I was not before 
earlier.
Please help. Thanks.
