[DOS attack: STORM] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [10.0.0.3]

I started noticing lag spikes in my internet yesterday evening. I thought it was just the roommate downloading, so I just did something else, no big deal. The next day I asked him and he said he wasn't downloading anything last night, so I looked into it a little more. This lead me to my router logs, which are as follows:

About every twenty seconds or so, this happens and it does lag me quite significantly. I've done a fair amount of research and have seen a number of different diagnosis', however, none were truly resolved. I have not downloaded anything dangerous, especially not in the last day or so (this started happened about 24 hours ago). I am a pretty heavy gamer, so the only thing I download are games.

Please don't hesitate to ask me for any information you may need to help me. This is all beyond my knowledge of computers and the like.

Thanks in advance!

For whatever reason, someone is spamming packets to your network/device. You can block this traffic in your router controls (if they have that option) I think peerblock also gives you the option to custom block ip addresses. Look in IP blocking programs, that may remedy your issue.

Also, it'd probably be a good idea to report that to the FBI cyber crime tip site. They can add this to their monitoring list and may even limit traffic from that ip.

Also, contact your ISP and tell them about it, they'll cease all traffic from that address PDFQ because they don't want illegal activity moving in their hardware.

I dont know much about... anything, I did notice that they were from 10.0.0.3, which is a local ip. Meaning it might be something already in your network.
