socks proxy setting
After updating to Mojave, I started having connection issues (email mostly but also internet at times). It turns out, I had SOCKS Proxy selected in my Network Preferences. I deselected and applied my changes. But whenever I restart my computer, SOCKS Proxy autoselects. Is this Malware or a Virus? It's annoying but if benign, I can continue to deselect it. However, I know that botnets use SOCKS Proxy to control computers so I would prefer to disable it permanently. Any suggestions?
