It very well could be a real attack. Leaf will prevent unsolicited attacks from reaching your client computer, but if you have software on the client machine that is trying to access content that Kasperskey deems (or is) malevolent, Leaf will do nothing to prevent this access. This software could be malware, or simply a browser making a request to a site that attempts to load malware.
A firewall is only a piece of the puzzle when it comes to protecting computers on a LAN, relying on it as your only protection when online is not a good idea (particularly if you're running Windows).
