If you have internet connection shared through proxy server and you want to get your Microsoft Security Essentials updated through proxy connection, follow the work around to do it
- First make sure proxy setting's are configured correct on Internet Explorer, if not do it first.
- Now type below command in command prompt.
C:\proxycfg -u
Microsoft (R) WinHTTP Default Proxy Configuration Tool
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Updated proxy settings
Current WinHTTP proxy settings under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections\
WinHttpSettings :
Proxy Server(s) : 192.168.20.126:8080
Bypass List :
then it will copy your proxy settings and windows security sessentials will be updated through proxy.
In WINDOWS 7 /VISTA this command doesn't work, it's been replaced with
c:\ netsh winhttp import proxy ie
Hope it works for you.
