Funny you should ask.  I just ran accross it in:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mboned-ipv4-mcast-bcp-00.txt

Part of this near the bottom lists some groups to filter and this is included
and said to be Altiris.

  224.0.1.2/32:      SGI Dogfight game and related services
   224.0.1.3/32:      RWHOD
   224.0.1.8/32:      Suns NIS+
   224.0.1.22/32:     SVRLOC
   224.0.1.24/32:     MICROSOFT-DS
   224.0.1.25/32
   224.0.1.35/32:     SVRLOC-DA
   224.0.1.39/32:     Ciscos Rendezvous Point Announcement Protocol
   224.0.1.40/32:     Ciscos Rendezvous Point Discovery Protocol
   224.0.1.60/32:     HPs Device Discovery Protocol
   224.0.2.1/32:      rwho group (BSD)
   224.0.2.2/32:      Suns Remote Procedure Call Protocol
   225.1.2.3/32:      Altiris
   229.55.150.208/32: Norton Ghost disk duplication software
   232.0.0.0/8:       Source-Specific Multicast
   234.42.42.42/30:   ImageCast
   239.0.0.0/8:       Administratively Scoped IPv4 Group Addresses

I've been filtering 225.1.2.3 for a while with no ill-effects.
