When I turned off my laptop everything worked fine. When I turned it on again. It was not possible to connect to any website as the settings in both Firefox and IE was changed to use a proxy server. IP 127.0.0.1. Security hole or virus? Or maybe could I possibly, changed the settings by accident?

It's hard to accidentally change the setting of something you normally don't access. I say add/mal-ware.

You can check in "Windows Control Panel > Programs" for recently installed programs to see if any suspicious software shows up.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
