    System infected with DDoS.Attack.222

    My system is infected with DDoS.Attack.222 and the Avast antivirus that has been installed detected the infection and removed it from the system. I am able to get rid of this infection, but it enters everytime I browse the internet. So, actually I need a method that will help me to prevent infections from entering the system. If anyone has any idea about the solution, please help me with suitable replies.

    If your system is being infected with DDoS.Attack.222, then I suggest you to turn the automatic updates on, so that the infections will be detected and removed immediately when they enter the system. Here is how you have to go about it:
    1. First, click on Start.
    2. Then, go to Control Panel.
    3. After that, select System and Maintenance.
    4. Now, go to Windows Updates.
    5. There, you will have to select a setting. The recommended setting along with the preferred time has to be selected.

    When you are on the internet, you may be clicking on the malicious links on the web pages. This may be the reason why your system is infected with DDoS.Attack.222. When you see an suspicious links, avoid going to that link. Such links are placed on the web pages by the attackers with a very good caption, that can attract many unsuspecting users. This is a method by which the infections gain entry into the system.

    Always use caution while opening the Email attachments, since the attackers send many mails simultaneously with infections embedded in it. The unsuspecting users fall prey to such an attack and system infected with DDoS.Attack.222 may be just one such cases. So, you will just have to be alert and keep yourself away from such attacks. I am sure that in this way you will be able to avoid many infections from entering the system.
