Denial of service attack

This type of attack prevents users from accessing a computer or website by overloading the server. Typically these are done using botnets where an attacker uses a command and control center to instruct zombie computers to access a website at the same time, at a rate much faster than the site’s servers can process, resulting in a website crash.

it works- I used to have stuff happen about twice a year- uardio warns me any time something looks fishy

Have never given PC security much thought. Usually just download a free one! The last couple of years the free ones have annoyed me so much with their constant advertisements for themselves etc, that I removed them from my computer. It was great to discover Guardio, It has been a relief having it with so much going on in the world and so many nasty people scamming innocent people. It's great when I think I want to click on a site and a Guardio message come up saying they believe it is a dangerous site so I don't go there.
