Yesterday Internet Explorer would not connect. I noticed for some reason the Use Automatic Configuration Script setting in LAN Settings was set to 127.0.0.1:2309/proxyconf. After several tries. I reset it to the correct setting Automatically Detect Settings and IE now works. I've done a full virus scan with Kapersky Internet Security and Malwarebytes but found nothing.
Please advise:
Please advise:
- Why would the Automatic Configuration Script be changed and what is the setting 127.0.0.1:2309/proxyconf?
- Is there a Group Policy or Registry setting to disable the Automatic Configuration Script option?
- I have a long list of Intermediate Certification Authorities and I'm unsure what they all are. I'm also unable to remove them. Is there a way of resetting IE to a standard set of certificates a new Windows installation would have?
