    Take a look at message 36. This is how I stopped Netgear Armor.  Haven't had a problem since.

    Good luck!

      So I have witnessed this as well, I just so happen to witness it when my son gets DDoS online from a gamer. 

       

      I just disabled port 9100 in my printer by using the printers IP and a web browser.  Here is some more information on port 9100 and why you shouldn't use it.

      You can find more information by googling your printer and how to disable port 9100.
