    My Windows 8 tend to Freeze while I am connecting to the Internet. Without any reasons.

    My mouse is not working.

    And is there any possibility that I am getting Denial of Service Attacks!

    I know all Windows version did not have any form of protection for Denial of Service Attacks.

    I had a similar problem months ago. The cause was a hardware problem: the PS2 mouse had a bad electrical connection, that caused the mouse freezing.

    If you're using a PS2 mouse, try another one (better if it's a USB mouse).

    Does it only happen when you connected to internet only?

    Run Windows Update and install all updates.

    In start type Windows Defender and run a full system scan.

    Windows will protect you against DoS throgh Windows Firewall. If DoS is causes by a vulnerability of another application it also could detect with Windows Defender .

    How you are connecting to your internet. VPN / Proxy or direct connection.

    Have you installed any third party software? If so, please uninstall them one by one for testing.
