Hello jprovine,

You can configure an anti-virus profile to block this. You can check if PAN cover it by looking in the threat vault.

I've already checked and the devices do cover it so make sure your anti virus version is up to date and you can apply an anti-virus profile to a security rule in order to defend against this virus.

You can use the guide to help you configure it.

PAN-OS Administrator's Guide 6.1 (English)

thanks,

Okay well according the Admin guide there are two ways to do this by creating a rule or going to the exception tab and adding specific signatures with specific actions I am not sure which is the best route to go. Any one have any preferences.

Okay even though I set this item to be blocked it isn't, Anyone have a clue why it is still just alerting?

Hello jprovine,

Can you try blocking this with a anti virus profile rather than a anti spyware profile, on the threatvault it is covered as a virus.

thanks,

Ben

I can try but it doesn't list it as a virus but as spyware in the program and I checked it in the threat vault as well and it listed it as spuware

Hi jprovine,

Here is a link to the virus detail

If you are testing through an encrypted connection, can you make sure you have decryption enabled.

thanks,

Ben

I am not using decryption and I would think if it were encrypted I wouldn't be able to alert on it either. But you have some good thoughts

I believe he was referring to SSL Decryption, yeah?

I don't know mmmccorkle not sure what difference that would make can you elaborate

I had to go in to the exception tab and set it there and then it worked
