I run Windows XP. I did have a Cybot backdoor Activity attack intercepted by Norton Internet Security and I used the Norton NPE to remove it from the computer. I do not know if this caused the proxy problem or not.

There is no proxy problem connecting to the internet through Internet Explorer just through Mozilla Firefox.

When Mozilla Firefox tries to connect to the internet I get the following message: 

Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
working.

In Mozilla I click Tools, options, advanced, network, settings. Under settings Proxy is set on manual, it says that there is no proxy for the figures typed in.

So I click auto detect proxy and I then can connect to internet through Mozilla, however when I log out of the internet, the same proxy server issue is recreated.

What should the Proxy setting be?

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

See "Firefox connection settings":

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
