This sounds like you have malware on your system that is directing you to a proxy to steal information.

Did you ever have this system intentionally connected to a proxy to where this is not malware and just a registry key that needs to be fixed to set the default back to disable proxy?

Hello not really sure what you are saying, but the setup I have has not changed in the 3 years I have owned my lap top, ( does that explanation cover what you are asking ?)

I use Kaspersky protection
