The IE11 on my Windows 10 is always reset and activated to

dd6939f9-c2b4-4a93-8a7a-534e24e8853f.jpg

whenever I open the IE11.
I had to manually deactivate by unchecking the Proxy Server statements checkbox every time. Otherwise websites/webpages tends to unopen by showing error message of proxy server.

How do I get rid of this situation?

Check your machine for malware, chances are that some thing is hijacking your browser.

Check your machine for malware, chances are that some thing is hijacking your browser.
I have K7 Total Security installed.
Still I checked the PC by installing Malewarebytes Ant-malware and did a full scan.
It successfully quarantined( or deleted) trojan relating to proxy server (browser hijacker).
I also installed Adwcleaner tool and ran a full scan.

But the problem persists.

The only way to get rid of the browser hijacker is to format the C:/ Drive and if need be all other drives also. In case you do this create a backup of your data before formatting.

In that case the backed up data might contain the malware for hijacked browser. So what's the use?

Friends, I have a paid version of System Mechanic from Iolo installed.

IS THAT THE PROBLEM FOR PROXY SERVERS IN MY PC????

Can you do a scan with HijackThis and paste the scan results here? If its a browser hijacker it should appear in its log.

You can get it here: Download Trend Micro HijackThis - MajorGeek
