'Proxy server' settings keep resetting.... help!

[Debbie]

Hello-
First of all, I've never even touched the Proxy Settings, and now every time
I go to IE Properties-->Connections-->Settings, the two boxes under 'Proxy
server' are checked. And when I click on 'Advanced,' next to HTTP it says:
127.0.0.1 Port: 9022. And under 'Exceptions,' it says:
;127.0.0.1;www.intercable.net.
BUT, here comes the weird part:
If I uncheck both of those boxes, restart my computer, and check the
properties again, IT CHANGES BACK to all that.
Why is that happening?!!?
I'm running WinXP, ZoneAlarm, and my ISP is MSN. I believe those 'Proxy
Settings' didn't use to be there before...

Thanks,
Debbie

Download, update, and run Ad-Aware, to see whether you have any
malware that has hijacked your browser.

If this doesn't work, check with your ISP to see whether this is
something they know about, or are doing...
