On my windows vista laptop, only a few years old, I am getting this error message whenever I try to open or connect to the internet. This occurs when I open any browser (chrome, explorer, safari, or firefox) as well as the itunes store, and will not let me access the internet.

One exception to this, is that I can send/receive Email just fine, despite the message. I am not sure why it is doing this; I have not consciously changed any settings. I have tried restarting, rebooting, and turning wireless off/on all multiple times, but still I get the same error. I want to be able to access the web, so does anyone have an Idea of what this problem could be or how I could solve it?
 
If you have never set up a proxy on your PC it is possible you have a virus that could have changed those settings on you. Run a virus scan. If that doesn't find anything, check your settings in your browser. Somewhere in there will be an option to set a proxy. If that doesn't do it, it may be something in your router.
