Fix for: How to view Internet Explorer auto-detected proxy settings?
Low Risk
The settings are retrieved from http://wpad/wpad.dat which is a javascript file describing which proxy server should be used in which situation. Your best bet is to open that URL and figure the proxy out from the contents it returns.
