Hello,

I can no longer connect to the internet with Firefox, while it is still possible with Internet Explorer. When I open Firefox, it indicates that:

The connection was refused by the proxy server
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server, but it is not accepting connections.

* Check that the proxy settings are correct

* Contact your network administrator to ensure that the proxy server
is functioning.

To clarify, my PC was infected, I ran a scan and removed the virus, it is currently functioning correctly. Having noticed this problem with Firefox, I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but the problem persists.

Thank you in advance for your response.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0
