Topic: Removing spp_portscan alerts

[Mark]

Running SME 5.1.2 with ari-mitel-acid 2.0, snort and guardian.  The problem I am having is with spp_portscan2 alerts.  Seems like every major financial institution uses them.  When I try an log in to make an online payment an alert is triggered and the site is blocked.  Installing an entry in gardian.conf is very tiedious.  How do I turn off snort from detecting this alert?

TIA

Edit file /etc/snort/snort.conf

Place "#" in the beginning of the line "include $RULE_PATH/scan.rules"
and restart server
