Flood to Host

Post by silverback »

I'm noticing that there are entries for UDP Flood to Host and SYN Flood to Host in my router log.

I've tried Googling for these items, but while there are a number of hits, I haven't found one that actually resolved the user's posting - and it's all very over the top of the head stuff to me.

What do these mean, please, and should I be worried? I do run AVG Anti virus and MalwareBytes Anti Malware regularly and they don't find anything untoward.
Thanks
Silverback.

Our routers report these on and off - it's a variety of someones trying to 'get in', but they fail! We just ignore them.
