Is this a machine at home or at work?

(Similar problem of proxy turning back on could be due to malware or registry changes / network policy. See stackexchange for more info on those.)

Like what you have said it is similar with me but Bbman there is no written in the exceptions text area.

I tried your method bbman but it keeps coming back even if follow the steps. I just want my internet connection back and nothing works. I don't have the money to but a new laptop. My laptop is a Windows 7 Dell Inspiron 15R. If anyone can help it'd be great.

I found the culprit was hot spot shield, uninstalled and all is well..

AquaHearts-

I am currently experiencing this same problem, however, if you download Firefox (which uses separate internet settings), it can bypass this so you can at least use your internet.

In your Firefox browser, go to Options> Advanced tab> Settings...> Here, select "No proxy" and it should work just fine :) If not, just choose "Auto-detect".

Hope this helps!

Hey all, I have finally fixed the issue for me.

The original issue was that I was unable to uncheck the Proxy server settings. After unchecking it, I would exit the menu and it would recheck itself. I have attached a picture of the problem.

My fix was quite simple:

1) Safemode with Networking - restart your computer, and tap F8 repeatedly as soon as it starts back up, until a menu pops up with a bunch of options. Choose "safemode with networking". (My assumption is that this works because it starts your computer up with only the essential drivers, meaning the program that is causing your proxy setting to continue to check itself isn't even running when we start our computer up like this)

2) Internet Settings - Go back to the Proxy settings box, click "Advanced", delete everything on that window, click "OK", a Proxy error window will pop up. Click "OK", then uncheck the troublesome box, and make sure you check the box at the top of the window that says "Automatically detect settings" and voila! It should be fixed!

I have a simple solution that worked for me. open your IE as an Administrator, Goto tools>Internet Options>Connections Tab, Click on LAN settings and Uncheck proxy as well as "Automatically Detect Settings". Restart your browser.. It should work..

I remember buying my Mozilla product a few years back and the staff are smiling and they don't keep you waiting for long. I think the customer service are slipping away.

Member Avatar

Thank you, preetham 1. I had tried all other options, including uninstalling/reinstalling IE, running malware programs, and went through the living hell of having the proxy settings reappear. Until now. Until your suggestion. I owe you a cup of coffee

I had this same problem because of a program that was apparently bundled with my download of Vuze. Look at the hidden icons in your system tray to see what's running in the background. The culprit for me was Genius Box search enhancer. Once I uninstalled that, my proxy settings automatically turned off.

Iv done literally all methods and it still checks its self. Yes if i use a seperate brower such as firefox or comodo dragon i can change the setting to auto detect and it works but the problem is it doesnt allow me to download anything or conect to my steam.

I'm Glad It worked for most of you guys...

goto control panel internet options - then advanced tab hit rest.... wala
