LSP Repair Tool In-Depth

LSP stands for Layered Service Provider. An LSP runs "between" the Internet (network) and your browser or e-mail client (network clients). What this means is that, information sent to your computer from the Internet (or information your computer sends across the Internet) can be modified by an LSP.

Currently, there are many malevolent programs which are able to hijack your browser by acting as an LSP. If a hijacked LSP is deleted, you run the risk of damaging your LSP configuration and losing network connection. Kingsoft Antivirus' LSP Repair Tool has the power to repair a hijacked LSP and your LSP configuration.
