Dealing with a DoS

[Supakaiser]

I've slowly worked on cutting additional programs out of the loop but it isn't helping. I knocked it down to basically the game + obs (streaming software) and I wasn't getting attacked, but further testing will tell if that's a fix or when I got to that stage the DoS'er was AFK / in bed.

I've also run more scans, this time with Norton (provided by my ISP to all their subscribers) and it found nothing as well.

Thusfar I've run: Avira, AVG, Norton, RKill, RogueKiller, Spybot: Search & Destroy, Malwarebytes, Microsoft Security Essentials, and AdwCleaner. No detections.

However, just to be on the safe side, if it happens again I'm prepared to do a 100% clean install of windows and go from there. It should be noted that my Windows is 100% up to date as well.

Would you mind scanning with Hitman Pro? it usually detect stuff that other anti-malware/virus/etc fails to detect. Just a suggestion.

Did it. Nothing came up on detections. Thanks for the tip though

it doesn't have to be a virus, it could be a service you are using like skype, teamspeak, or dyndns

I have cable internet btw via Comcast.

Now I dont really know much about this stuff, but I'm giving an alternative. if im wrong then things can continue on. But a few years ago my net kept dying like this and switching things would bring it back. I found out from a technician who came out that someone in my area was using a normal device that kept back feeding into the line. Every time he used it my internet would die for several minutes.

Do you have another router you can test with? It's likely a bug or security flaw with the version of DD-WRT that the attacker is able to exploit. Or it could be an issue with Comcasts setup. In which case you're fucked/need to talk to them.
