Hi,

I installed Wfilter (chinese) on my china server. I have been receving manay false alarms from the system. I am receving notifications on application launch like FreeCast, QQlive, 脱兔下载 and 浩方对战平台. I checked on many of these computers and couldn't find these software on them except for a few computers which are running QQ messengers (not the QQlive) whereas the rest do not have any of these related software installed at all.



Could you help?



Thanks

QQ messenger can produce "QQLive" and "QQDownload" traffic, because QQ messenger has integrated so many features.



But I am not sure why you have "FreeCast", 脱兔下载 and 浩方对战平台.

Can you run a protocol bandwidth report to check the bandwidth details of these three patterns?

Hi,

I attached the report. I had put in the english names next to the chinese characters for your reference. I do not know how this is going to help me. Please kindly advise.



Thanks.

As you can see, the 10th bandwidth is 0.408MB in total. It means other false alarm protocols are less than 0.408M.



I recommend you to ignore protocols <1M, because 1MB traffic can not do anything useful in practice.



We will setup a bandwidth threshold of alert trigger in later versions of WFilter to reduce false alarms.
