Even if you use virus =>protection. Even if you get rid of the open proxy. You can never get off =>their lists.
>From http://informatie.easynet.nl/error/errors.htm [Once you are entirely confident that no one but yourself and/or your local network can use your proxy server, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] requesting removal. State your IP address and/or include an error message in your removal request, or we will not be able to process it. Once an IP address is listed as an open proxy, it will not be automatically or periodically retested. You must request removal in order to be retested and consequently removed. ] You actually have to ask them to take you off their list. Ask first, and then if they don't cooperate we can say nasty things about them. Hell, I might even stop using them if they get pissy enough. :-) -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have - -happened but none stranger than this. Does your driver's license say Organ -Donor?Black holes are where God divided by zero. Listen to me!
