IPS warning - meaning?

I have tow of these alerts in my logs.

It is my Vista laptop going out to an external IP.

"WEB-CLIENT Microsoft SYmbolic LinK file download request"

All I got from google was the snort rules. Anyone have a clue what exactly this means my laptop was doing?

Thanks,

If you don't have Excel 2000 SP3 or Office for Mac 2004 and 2008, then I'd disable the specific rule on the 'Advanced' tab.
