Solve : Proxy Server connection?

Answer»

Hello.  I'm hoping to get some help with this problem I'm having with my DELL Inspiron 1520. I have searched for an answer but nothing so far.
I log into my computer and OPEN IE and I get 'Cannot Connect to the Proxy Server'.  (I do not want to connect to the Proxy Server)  I go into 'tools' then 'Internet Options' 'Connections' then 'LAN Settings' and uncheck the check mark from "Use a Proxy Server for your LAN'  I select close and then apply.
That helps for the moment but when I log into my computer the next time the same thing happens over and over again.  What else can I do to permanently correct this issue?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  (running Windows 7 and not sure which version of IE)Try creating a new user account for this computer and using that user account. Does this fix the issue for that new account where no proxy settings are happening?

 If so, you can move your data from my documents etc from one profile to the other, and continue to use this computer with the new account instead of the old account.

It might be as simple as using a new profile. Have you had to clean out any infections prior to this in which remnants of the infection may still be there? You're infected...what protection apps do you have and whens the last time you ran them ? ?patio, I was thinking my computer is infected but I have McAfee and it says I don't have a virus and I just ran it yesterday.  What other protection apps do you have ? ?
What Browser are you running ? ?I have no other apps and I'm running Internet Explorer.DLoad update and run MalwareBytes...there's a Free version...
Re-boot after it finishes...Hi.  Ok, I ran Malwarebytes and rebooted the computer.  Logged back in to IE and I still have the same problem. 
(I was going to wipe the computer clean and start over but I cannot find my disks for this thing.)
Any other suggestions?

Thanks. Quote

Did you try making a new user account yet and see if the problem is also observed with other new logon account with same system?No I haven't.  I did run McAfee again and it came up with Adware-RocketTab and Adware-BProtect.  My computer wouldn't delete it.  What do I do now?
Thank you for your help.  Now that I have a virus do I need to post a different post?

While unchecking proxy server in LAN settings, checkmark Automatically detect settings, Ok and Apply.

Download Adwcleaner by Xplode from here.
CLICK on Adwcleaner and hit the Scan button and will begin to search for PUP and malicious files. Once finished click the Clean button. Copy and paste the log on your next reply.

Do you see the problem with other browsers? Have you tried Firefox? Maybe a reset of IE browser would also help but see if after running Adwcleaner would make a difference.
Hi Jason. I've run AdwCleaner and here are the results:

I haven't used any other internet browser lately to know if there are any problems.  I can start to use them to find out though.
Ok, let us know how it went after trying out a different browser including IE since Adwcleaner scan removed some unwanted.So far so good.

Thank you for your help.
