my school blocks at the least 95% of all proxies.  I try and browse through
wikipedia and it tells me that it is wikipedia is using a proxy server known
as http://privacywant.info.  Is this something that has happened to anyone
else before, or is it just particular on mine.  

thanks

UPDATE-

Ok, so i can get to any homepage of wikipedia but as soon as i try to do any
type of search the schools filter (barracuda, i think its spelled that way)
stops it.  The computer is mine and i have never used privacywant as a proxy
before, and i searched through the registry a little bit trying to find
something and didn't find anything on it.  And as far as i know its not
blocked any where on campus, i dont know if there is a setting im missing
that might have gotten changed due to spyware or virus, but i tend to keep
my pc pretty clean.

any suggestions are welcome

thanks
