Several pages I've searched for "localhost:9100/proxy.pac" state that this is entered by something called Google Web Accelerator. Apparently, you must have installed this program. Here is a page about GWA:

*webaccelerator.google.com/support.html

And here is what it says you need to do to uninstall GWA, which presumably will removed the unwanted Internet Options settings:

4. How do I uninstall Google Web Accelerator?

If you decide you don't want to use Google Web Accelerator, here's how to uninstall it:

Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel to open the Windows Control Panel.
Click on Add or Remove Programs to open its window.
Click on Google Web Accelerator. A Remove button will appear below the Google Web Accelerator item.
Click the Remove button.
Close the Add or Remove Programs window and the Windows Control Panel.

found the above on the same page

@emanym: The Experts-Exchange link you provided needs a paid subscription to access.

Your HJT file looks clean. However, you could perhaps kill some of the processes to free up some memory. Also, I can't seem to get what this process is:

WUC0CB.EXE
