    u2d-ipsbundle-9-50

    I just got the alert (I changed the rule to alert, not drop) again when I went to feature.astaro.com and logged in.
    It doesn't happen again if I log out and login again, maybe it's cookie-dependent.

    Anyways, there's several people in these forums having trouble with this Snort rule; see

    for more examples.
