Hi,<br><br>Thanks to all of you for the clarification. I conclude that there is nothing harmful on my machine that makes my machine access <a href="http://www.wpad.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
www.wpad.net</a>. I got little suspicious because I am using Firefox and inspite of automatic proxy selection being disabled (Its disabled in IE as well along with firefox) my machine was trying to access
<a href="http://wpad.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">wpad.net</a>.<br><br>Don't know why inspite of proxy autodiscovery disabled my machine was looking for <a href="http://www.wpad.net">
www.wpad.net</a> (Maybe I know. Might be because even though my machine is not part of any home/office network I have set the DNS suffix as "net". Actually the problem started only after I did the previous step. I knew what I was doing was not right but I was playing around.)
<br><br>Anyways now I know what the issue is.<br><br>Thanx again...<br><br>NJoi!<br>
