DOS ATTACK drops internet completely
Background: I've tried many things from forums, I know these are false positives as they are from places like Microsoft, Amazon, and Valve(or steam) I just don't know why it keeps disconnecting ...

Thanks for quick reply, I have it logging everything and I believe Traffic meter is on, I'll turn those off and get back to you.
I know it's hardly enough thats why its just weird, cause it'll always be just one false positive then down for like 1 min, and back up again.

Happened again, much later than usual, but still, wipeed internet off, Did you mean for me to basically have it not log at all or just the "DOS attacks"

Up to you.
To begin with I'd disable Dos attack logging and see what happens.
Logging does nothing for the protection. So disabling it does not add to the danger.
Of course, there may be something completely different going on.
