I am having a little trouble
I am having a little trouble understanding exactly what you are asking, but I think this article will help. It describes DOS attacks and how they work. If you can understand how they work then you will understand how to protect yourself against them. Look at the SMURF attack part specfically.

The steps you need to take to protect yourself from SMURF attacks can be done more through your operating system rather than your Anti-Virus software. Again that information can be taken from the article above.
I hope this helps,
Grant
