Localhost : Port Hi-Jacked

[John]

I run a proxy server on my Win2k Pro system. In the Internet Explorer
- Internet Options - LAN Settings, I have set Proxy Server as Address:
localhost Port:1400. This has been working for some time now but
after surfing several websites, the settings are having no effect and
the proxy server is being bypassed altogether, regardless of how many
times I've tried resetting.
It may have been hijacked after visiting www.arongsoft.com with an
applet possibly having been executed that installed Intrernet
Assistant (3721.com domain)

Where can I verify the settings in a file or the registry? Any
suggestions greatly appreciated.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\AdvancedOptions\HTTP\PROXY

but its unlikely you will find it here,..did you check your hosts-file ?

Use this simple ProxyAutoConfig script:
http://nina.xs4all.nl/pac/no-ads_no-proxy.pac
ps;this overrides other proxysettings, you will be surfing without
one(direct).

A dutch howto and help is here:

For nerds:
I like the above pac-script extended !
How 'bout uploading me a beter one here:

Like all cool services at giel's, this is free and continues as long as it
does not constipates my connections.
