====== PFSense - Suricata - Alerts - ET POLICY PE EXE or DLL Windows file download HTTP ======

The **ET POLICY** part of the alert is telling you that it's a **Policy** rule: 

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  It is not an attack, it's just something which might violate a corporate policy.

This particular alert is just telling you that someone has downloaded a Windows executable file or DLL over HTTP.

In most cases this is just noise, unless you've prohibited downloading of executable files in your environment.
