Stuff like this is in the Log of my router:

I sent a cut&paste like this to my ISP/security about a month ago asking them if they could do anything about these attacks coming at me. No reply.
Yesterday I got a notice that if I didn't stop sending out Dos attacks/Smurf my internet service would be terminated.
Talked to head nerd, reformatted my C: drive, reinstalled Vista, and today I got another warning.
So I opened up the computer, plugged into the spare hard drive and found...Ubuntu!
I must have done that about 6 years ago.
So here I am...in a version of Linux.
I'm sure joeyd999 will be thrilled.
Updates of this Thread will happen if this doesn't stop...or maybe updates won't happen. Maybe my Internet service will be terminated.
I don't know why formatting my C: drive didn't fix this. Now we'll see if Ubuntu fixes it.
I'm wondering...if the Dos attacks come from apparently thousands of random IP's, is my IP address in the pile because it's a random number being spoofed or is my Vista drive suffering from malware?
