Fixing LSP Hijacking and Internet Connection Problems

Have you heard of the term LSP hijacker? Well, you may not know the term, but you may have encountered the problem caused by it. LSP stands for Layered Service Provider, which is basically a .dll file that uses the Winsock API to place itself into the TCP/IP stack.

Name LSP Hijacker, PUP
Type LSP Browser Hijacker, PUP
Short Description A LSP hijacker can intercept the connection between the Internet and PC applications.
Symptoms Internet connectivity issues, problems related to potentially unwanted programs.
Distribution Method Installation of PUPs, third party software installers, bundling, etc.
Detection tool Download Malware Removal Tool, to See If Your System Has Been Affected By LSP Hijacker, PUP

Once this is done, the traffic between the Internet and applications on the computer can be interrupted, filtered or in some cases – modified. If you have recently experienced a repetitive interception of your Internet traffic, your system may have been compromised by a LSP hijacker.

LSP software usually takes care of low-level Internet related tasks. Data is transmitted in both ways through a chain of the LSP programs.

As you may have guessed, both legitimate and malicious software can use LSPs. Examples of legitimate applications using the service are Sygate Firewall, Mcafee Personal Firewall, E-Safe, and many others. However, potentially unwanted programs, such as adware and browser hijackers, can also employ LSPs and completely mess the targeted system. We have written about LSP browser hijackers before. A program that falls into the category is Dnsioweb.net. Another depiction of LSP hijacking is WeWatcherProxy.

What the problem generally is users have no idea a LSP intruder has entered their systems, until it’s too late. Such programs can be installed in a stealth manner – via bundled, silent and unattended installers.

Why Is LSP Hijacking Employed?

In terms of spyware and PUP, LSPs can be employed to redirect the traffic from the user’s PC to predetermined websites, or collect stats about Internet usability. When used for good reasons, LSPs will scan network traffic for malicious files, viruses, Trojans, etc.

How Can LSP Hijacking Be Stopped?

An AV program can remove the intruder. However, the removal process can be risky. You may wonder why. The Winsock Service Provider Interface (SPI) contains a system for layering providers. One of the problems may be that there can be more LSPs in the user’s stack. The order of layered providers is stored in the Winsock Catalog. If one of the LSPs is ‘taken out’ of the stack, there is a risk of damaging the Internet connection. Instead of fixing the problem, the problem can get worse.

There are some free utilities such as LSP-Fix that can fix problems related to LSP hijacking troubles. However, even such utilities should only be used by expert users and with great caution.

In case the LSP intruder was accompanied by a potentially unwanted program, the user should locate the PUP and uninstall it the regular way (the Uninstall a program).

NOTE

Security researchers at MalwareBytes remind that the LSP feature was deprecated in Windows Server 2012. As a result, a prevalent number of Windows 8 metro apps have skipped the LSPs. If the user is running Windows 8/10, there may be no need of fixing anything. However, if there is a persistent Internet problem related to a LSP hijacker such as the Mezaa app (Mezaa.Service.exe) or WeWatcherProxy, there following process can be attempted:

→Choose Start – Programs – Accessories – right click on the Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

→In the Command Prompt window type “Netsh winsock reset catalog”, and press Enter.

→Restart the PC.

After those steps are followed, the problematic programs can be removed manually from the system. However, remember that by doing this, you will delete everything, added to the default entries.

Such steps should only be done by users with expert knowledge and understanding of core system functionalities.
