yeah the problem in V5 is that any change to this setting is not retained (bug) , no big deal if you're not behind a proxy, for those who are, there's a problem.
I'm using Avast 5 Free on WinXP Pro SP3. After installing, I set it to Direct Connection. I was in an Admin account at the time, and after some configuration I closed the Avast setup interface and restarted Windows. It retained the settings.
However, I have made some changes as a limited user. Some stayed and some didn't. Those that didn't would be maintained if I did them in the Admin account. The trouble is, I can't remember which was which now.
