Sophos blocked policy violation reporting false data

sabdul

We added about 15 machines to Sophos Central. So far it’s been working great except for Policy violations. We have over 500 policy violations blocked.  Basically any website we go to, Sophos reports that it blocked something. It’s reporting mostly false positives.

 

Here are couple of examples. No one visited these site below. This is part of ads on different websites.

 

Site: adsrvr.org 

Categories: Spyware

Visits: 115

 

Same thing here

 

Site: rundsp.com             

Categories: Spyware

Visits: 28

 

Is there anyway to adjust any of this so it doesn't report this useless info?

    At my job we've had this issue for two weeks! So far we are at 25,000 policy violations. There's no way to disable the report and we also had no one visit the sites. Sophos did maintenance about two weeks ago and maybe their update started keeping records of blocked sites with spyware. They tried to blame the end-user and when I told them that they never visited the sites they had no answer. I don't think they know why its being reported either.
