G+_Ben Reese Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 When manual proxy settings are set, do you recognize the proxy server? When I've seen that happen in the past, it's usually a virus but could also be security software (McAfee, Norton, etc) or group policy (if a business machine).

G+_David Wiggins Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Dittos to what Ben Reese? said. Also there is also the possibility of WPAD injection of some type initiating the proxy connection. In the Windows services console it's called "WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service". I'm linking an article I found about it. ibtimes.co.uk - How to disable WPAD on Windows so hackers can't hijack your computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
