Go into Internet Options (Connections Tab) and choose settings for proxy. If you do not use a Proxy Server then nothing should be selected on this pop-up.

DO NOT CHECK this box

do I need a proxy server? it's a wireless connection that I normally use to connect.

Assuming this is at home, I see no reason why you would have a proxy server.

No, you don't need a Proxy Server for normal WIFI operations. I've seen this boxed get set after running malware clean up. I'm thinking that it's probably a virus that tried to hijack your browser and point to a proxy server that they had set up.

Un-check the box, shutdown your browser and restart it.
