Take a look at IE>Tools>InternetOptions>Connections>LanSettings. See if you don't see it there.

Write down what you see so you can add it back if you delete it.

Mine in IE shows up in HJT logs when set to use the Local Proxy. It does not show up when not using the local proxy with IE.

It doesn't show up either way in the HJT logs when using Mozilla.

If in doubt, have HJT "fix" it. Let HJT save it as a backup. If all runs fine without it, check you IE settings again to see if it is still there. If a program you use no longer works without it, restore the backup from HJT.
I thought about that, so I already did check and there was nothing checked or added in lan settings. Think I'll remove it and then if things go wrong, restore it.

It's what I was thinking of doing, but didn't think it would hurt to ask and see if anyone else has seen this before. I use Firefox, not IE.

edit: Surprise! The setting was in fact in Firefox. I'm going to remove it and then see what happens.

Deleted the setting out of Firefox & also using Hijackthis, then rebooted. It didn't come back and everything is running fine. Still going to probe my system to find how it got there though. :/
