Cyberjacking is hijacking through browsers.
First of all, we need to understand what an LSP is.
LSP stands for Layered Service Provider, and the Chinese name is Layered Service Provider.
LSP is the interface of TCP IP protocol, etc.
Some spyware modifies Winsock 2's settings to perform LSP hijacking, and all information exchanged with the network passes through these spyware, allowing them to monitor the user's information.
Winsock LSP (Layered Service Provider) "browser hijacking". Some spyware modifies Winsock 2's settings to perform LSP "browser hijacking", through which all information exchanged with the network passes through them, allowing them to monitor the user's information. Famous ones such as new.net plugins or webhancer components, they are things that you don't want to bring when installing some software.
It is important to note that due to the special nature of the LSP, simply removing the spyware without restoring the normal state of the LSP is likely to result in the loss of network connection!If you use antivirus software to remove spyware, you may encounter a situation like the second example above, at which point you may not be able to access the Internet. Sometimes Hijackthis reports a broken network connection in the O10 item, but it is still connected, but in any case, care must be taken when fixing the O10 item.
Winsock LSP hijacking will encounter such a situation, the network connection is normal, the IP address, DNS address configuration is correct, the router is also configured normally, but it is unable to browse the web, log in to QQ, and use the ping command to test the computer to connect to the Internet, the test results show that the computer can connect to the Internet. However, you can't access the Internet, and this situation is most likely caused by Winsock LSP hijacking.
Winsock LSP (Windows Socket Layering Service Provider). All programs that use Windows sockets for network communication go through WinSock LSP. For these reasons, some applications will add themselves to the Winsock configuration information for LSP hijacking, and all the information exchanged with the network will pass through these applications, and when the application is uninstalled, it will lead to the inability to access the Internet. There are two ways to fix the problem of LSP being hijacked, one is to use a third-party tool to fix it, and the other is to use the netsh command that comes with the Windows 10 operating system to fix it. Run the command prompt as an administrator and run the following command:
netsh winsock reset catalog
After the command is executed, restart the computer and you can surf the Internet normally.
