Spybot Search and Destroy

View Installed Network Drivers

SUMMARY: Help determine if rogue network drivers have been installed on your machine by using Spybot Search and Destroy.

It is possible that some spyware and adware can install modified network drivers that force you to access their desired websites. To help you look for these threats, Spybot Search and Destroy has an option that lists all installed network drivers, descriptions and protocols. To view this information:

1. Click "Mode", selecting "Advanced Mode".
2. Click "Tools" in the left pane.
3. Click "Winsock LSPs" in the right pane.

A list of drivers, protocols, descriptions, IDs, and filenames (if known) is shown. If you have any questions you need to refer to a network professional, click the "Export" button to save the list of drivers to a text file. Note that Spybot Search and Destroy does not have a mechanism here for removing network drivers.
