Cannot remove this stubborn proxy.

Hi,

I am using windows xp sp3 on home computer
with d-link router dl-604

I have never enter the proxy server info however it keeps reappearing even after I have deleted it on
registry. I have google everywhere on the internet cannot seem able to find a solution.

proxy server 64.59.144.94 keeps resurrecting itself.
see attachment jpg

Please advice and thanks
