    Just now as installed spywareguard, i proceeded to update it but it just wouldnt connect. eventually i kept noticing that when outpost alerted me of spywareguard updating the port umber mentioned was proxomitron's. i thought it was because proxomitron was using port 8080 but then i changed the port and erased the rule in outpost but spywareguard tried to connect through proxomitron again. any ideas on how to prevent this?

    I believe that is because SG uses Internet Explorer's settings for connecting to the web. I assume you have IE set to use The Proxo?
