Windows Security Log gets crowded! polykobol@gmail.com 06-26-2008

We recently installed Windows Server 2008 on a server and we have
noticed that the Windows Security Log is crowded with events like the
ones below (several thousands every day). We realize that they are
from some kind of multicast, but we just want to get rid of them. It
is however a bit difficult since we don't know the cause. Any Help
will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mattias
