Here's a screwball if I ever did have one:
My connection to the internet is now dependent upon an LSP.dll file located on my desktop. Not only is it very difficult to get rid of, but when I do, I lose the ability to access the internet, as my registry has become dependent upon this file. If anybody know how to deal with this problem, please help me out, if not, I will walk you through how it happened.
So I just built a new desktop and installed Windows 7 Pro x64, and installed all of the software I think I need between an SSD and a pair of RAIDed HDDs. One such program was Advanced Systemcare 7 Pro, a popular mass system maintenance utility. Another was Steam, an even more popular computer game dealer and host. Steam, unfortunately, could not connect to its servers after I installed it, even after hours of retries and trying to enter through the TCP server (with -tcp in the program path). So after some hard googling, I learned that Steam and ASC don't work that well together, so I found a fix and downloaded a small program and patch. THIS is what I downloaded. It is the debug version of IObit's NetworkMon beta that never got released, along with a couple of files. I COPIED those files where the instructions told me and ran NetworkMon from my desktop and, alas, I still could not connect to the Steam servers. So I straight uninstalled ASC. I used NetworkMon to close programs that had access to the web and tried to connect to Steam for a little while longer, and I was finally able to connect(!). Assuming I had succeeded in my endeavor, I trashed the stuff I had downloaded, and most of it went willingly, all but the LSP.dll file on my desktop. It would not be deleted as it was, supposedly, being used by an innumerable number of programs at the time. I restarted my computer and it still would not go. I booted to safe mode and successfully deleted the file, only to see that I could not connect to the web without it strictly on the desktop. I ran registry repair tools (as it is a registry file) from Piriform's CCleaner and IObit's ASC, but to no avail. And googling the issue has gotten me nowhere. I do not want this file stuck on my desktop, even hidden, as I believe it presents a security risk. Please help in any way you can, I know Tom's Hardware has some good minds on the forums. Cheers
