ddos attack, ddos attack

I believe I have just gotten a ddos or dos attack. I really don't understand what this is but my quick research makes it sound bad. What do I do about it?

MacBook (13-inch Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

I received an unknown email that directed me to the following website: http://crimsontide.pyna.pl/wp-content/themes/Gry/facebook.php?slightly128.gif


Instead of opening it, I googled www.crimsontide.com and found a page that told me that if I could see the page, apache, etc was working. When I googled to see what that was, the number 1 result was a screen shot of the page that I went to and described it as a ddos or dos attack.


Further searches on google about what in the world those were made me head directly here. I admit to beiing completely unsophistocated about computer technology.
