You need to tune your rule to make it fit your environment. Disable the defaul system rules, and create your own rule to monitor those events.

Look at those incedents which you belive are false positive, and compare them with the real incidents, to find out the unique field value for FP and real incidents. Add filter at the rule you created.

Sorry, without knowing your envirnment and real events, it is hard to explain how to tune the rules. You may want to look at some Symantec documantation about how to create your own rule.
