I live in a college hostel, some other guys do the DOS attacks on rest computers.

The PC gets hanged, CPU uses becomes 100%.

Please help me to prevent from such attacks.

Answer 1

A more elaborate solution would be to put some sort of firewall between you and the rest of your network. and if you now where the attacks are coming from, meaning which ip(s) send the traffic you can block those so your computer doesn't even treat them.
