Updates happen several times per day - - you should have had many
updates since last Friday.

What you are describing sounds like a "rule-panic". Please check your
SNF logs to identify the rule (it's probably just one) that is causing
your false positives problem and enter that rule ID in your cfg file
in the rule-panic area. That will make the rule inert to give you
immediate relief. Then you can follow the normal FP procedure and we
will get the rule adjsuted or removed. This are rare - but they do
happen.

Please see the info on our rule-panic process:

Hope this helps,
