Somehow I seem to have acquired Privoxy.
On reboot, Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings
the system repeatedly sets itself to use a proxy server on Port 8118.
Then my internet goes all screwy and tells me I have Privoxy errors.
Privoxy does not appear anywhere as an installed program (and I don't use any proxy servers), but a registry search turned up a key for Privoxy (Safesoft Protector).
Where did this come from and can I just delete this key?
