Update IcedID.yar (#19)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We see a lot of false positives for this rule. 

IcedID uses google analytics cookie names for these values, and this is what this rule detects. 

This is a problem, because you'll find a lot of google analytics cookies in Pcaps, python scripts,  html files, etc. I suggest restricting the detection to PE files, should solve most of the false positives for this
