---------------------------------------
LSP-Fix is a utility designed to remove and repair problems associated 
with a a type of software called a Layered Service Provider, or LSP.

LSPs are designed to integrate directly into your TCP/IP layer, 
the protocol you use to communicate on the Internet, in order to 
manipulate data that is sent across it. 

The LSPs are installed in such a way that each LSP in the TCP/IP 
handler are chained together. 

If one of these LSPs is removed incorrectly, that chain could become 
broken, possibly removing your ability to connect to the Internet 
or a network.

LSP-Fix was designed to fix problems such as these. With LSP-Fix 
you can remove LSPs that are malicious in nature or do not belong,
and have them removed in such a way that the chain of LSPs are not
broken and your network connectivity will continue to work properly. 

This software will also fix breaks in the chain that may have already 
occurred due to deletions of certain files or buggy installation 
routines

This program deserves a word of warning though. You should not
be using this program unless you have been directed to do so 
by someone who is extremely knowledgeable in these matters. 

Removing the wrong LSPs from your computer by mistake can make 
your computer unstable and possibly unable to communicate 
over a network, including the Internet.

Types of Software that use an LSP

Many different types of software use LSPs and they are all applications
that use the a network or the Internet. Unfortunately, some of these
applications do not have your interests at heart and use LSPs to 
redirect your traffic to where they want or to collect statistics 
about how you use the Internet. LSPs that are used by these types 
of software, called Spyware or Browser Hijackers, can be removed using
LSP-Fix as well.
