ICMP FLOOD - A type of Denial of Service attack that sends large amounts of (or just over-sized) ICMP packets to a machine in order to attempt to crash the TCP/IP stack on the machine and cause it to stop responding to TCP/IP requests.

Basically, someone or something is trying to make your PC crash!

Do you have a good antivirus?
Sometimes is not enough with just a firewall. With some kind of virus you can actually penetrate a computer and change firewall settings to give yourself access...
