I have a iMac 9.1 connected to a Netear WNR3500 router via an ethernet cable. I noticed my router log file contains DOS attack: STORM entries that seem to indicate the attack is originating from my iMac. Note the logfile below:

192.168.1.5 is my iMac. I notice that these attacks, or whatever they are, seem to come in bursts about 3-5 at a time and these occur about 3-5 times a day. I have no problem accessing the net. I have no idea what these are, or even if they are a problem. Could anyone help?
Thanks.
