What is an IPS attack?

Most likely, they have a misconfigured intrusion prevention system that is detecting innocuous activity as an attack. Another possibility is that you’re on a shared connection and multiple people using that connection tried to access the same site in a short period of time, creating the appearance of a denial of service attack.

Alternately, you could be infected with malware that’s attacking the site, but I suspect one of the first two is more likely.

I am on my own connection, one computer directly to the modem, I called my ISP’s tech support, they were unhelpful, she says i should consult a computer expert, i use DSL so if its IP address based a previous user before i signed in may have been a culprit since the IP address is different each time i log on to the internet, however the tech support lady had no interest in knowing about any bots or compromised users they may have

Windows defender updates a few times a day automatically, it updated less then an hour ago, i’m running a full scan now
