When my Norton360 ran out I installed Microsoft Security Essentials but since then I've been unable to get onto the internet.

The message I get is:-

THE PROXY SERVER ISN'T RESPONDING.

CHECK PROXY SETTINGS 127.0.0.1:58226 FROM CHARMS, GO TO CHANGE PC SETTINGS>NETWORK>PROXY.

MAKE SURE FIREWALL SETTINGSAREN'T BLOCKING YOUR WEB ACCESS.

I've tried to follow the directions but nothing is being fixed as it stays as it is.

Please help as I'm not sure exactly what to do.

I connect to the internet through a proxy server unauthenticated. I was able to set up skydrive and it used to work for a while but since then it has stopped working at all. The icon is greyed out saying "waiting for Internet connection". this is very frustrating. using OS X 10.8.4
Activity reporting was working, but then all stopped. under web activity, shows google.mu, and google.com.au with App Name U1301.exe. Is this a proxy server that my child would have had to install?
hi, my old email (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) has somehow been temp blocked.

https://account.live.com/security/Sai.aspx/A1

Please contact Customer Support.  We'll ask you some questions and help you make sure your account is secure."


click continue, get sent to "http://www.windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?solutionid=f172cbee-3c73-4506-8a1d-4e6e82adb846"
of which, the page says - 
This webpage is not available

The connection to www.windowslivehelp.com was interrupted.
Check your Internet connection.
Check any cables and reboot any routers, modems, or other network devices you may be using.
Allow Chrome to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings.
If it is already listed as a program allowed to access the network, try removing it from the list and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server...
Check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server: Go to the Chrome menu > Settings > Show advanced settings... > Change proxy settings...> LAN Settings and deselect "Use a proxy server for your LAN".
Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET


which is absolute cack, seeing as i can get on my current email just fine, no internet problems at all, and its exactly the same through my mobile. as soon as i reach that page "the page is unavailable"

ive started to give up all hope of ever getting this email account back.
and the live service i have received was terrible to say the least. some guy on there called Matt, told him all about it and he gave me a link and said "put the number you receive through there" and then left the chat.. WHAT NUMBER??????????????????????????????
When I log into MSN I automatically appear offline and when I click 'available' my MSN freezes.  I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling/fixing/clearing internet history/clearing proxy settings (I don't have a proxy server, but figured it wouldn't hurt), unchecked the box to automatically configure and nothing will work.
