One of our company laptop user is getting a proxy authentication message
frequently. He is using domain user account. The message is coming even
though he doesn't want to browse the internet. And he can browse the internet
without entering the password.

Is this a result of spyware?

Thx,

The only way to answer your question is for you to do some malware scanning
on that box.

Since this is a company machine, it might be easier for you to just apply
your workstation image that you made.

How could I possibly answer that? Look to your security on the workstations
and the domain controller and your edge security. Make sure all domain
users are just standard users or further restricted by setting Group
Policies. Make sure end users can't install anything. Etc.

You can find best practices for security in a domain at TechNet.
