Winsock LSPs

[DelJo63]

Basically, How many?
Using Spybot S&D I see quite a list and wonder

• there's got to be a performance issue with so many
• and how can one tell what function is attached to each?

Spybot reports are all valid and the system shows no adverse effects, But ...
for grins, here's my list - - what's your opinon(s)? TIA.
