A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic. DDoS attacks achieve effectiveness by utilizing multiple compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. Computers and other devices (such as IoT devices) are infected with malicious code, turning them into bots that can be used by cybercriminals to launch DDoS attacks. By sending multiple requests—from different sources—to the targeted server or network resource, the attack can overwhelm the targeted resource, resulting in a denial-of-service to legitimate users.

1. Install and run an anti-malware program: Install an anti-malware program such as Malwarebytes, Norton Security, or Avast Free Antivirus. Update the program, and then run a full system scan. Make sure to allow the program to quarantine or remove any malicious files it finds.

2. Scan with Windows Security: Windows Security is the built-in anti-virus program in Windows 10. You can access it by clicking the Start button, typing “Windows Security” into the search bar, and then clicking the corresponding result. Scan your computer with Windows Security to check for any malicious software.

3. Use a bootable anti-malware disk: If anti-malware software doesn’t detect any malicious programs, you can try using a bootable disk. This type of disk can be used to scan your computer for malware even if the malware is blocking the installation of anti-malware software. You can use a bootable disk such as Kaspersky Rescue Disk or Windows Defender Offline.

4. Check your browser extensions: Malicious software can be disguised as browser extensions. Check the list of installed extensions in your web browser and remove any extensions that you don’t recognize or don’t need.

5. Check for suspicious files: If you suspect that your computer may be infected, you can check for suspicious files. Look for files with strange names or that were recently created. If you find any suspicious files, delete them or run a scan with your anti-malware program to check if they are malicious.
