How do I Configure Ad-Aware's WebUpdate Proxy?

How do I properly configure Ad-Awares WebUpdate using the Proxy Settings? I have Win XP, a DSL connection, and no firewall except Windows Security

WebUpdate Configuration:
------------------------------
Use HTTP Proxy:
What is this Address and where do I find the information I need to fill this in?

Port:
What is this Port and where do I find the information I need to fill this in?

---------------------------------------------------
When I'm using this latest version of Ad-Aware SE, I

barely see any updates - which used to be every other

day. I downloaded the latest build tonight on 9/23/04

and reinstalled it after having used it for over 2 weeks.

I try to update it every day, but I don't think it updated

more than once. This is what inspired me to try to

use an HTTP Proxy to download them.

I'm using windows XP Sp2 firewall, I don't have any proxy or webaccelerator

Zone Alarm annoys me.

So adaware update should just work. Is there a problem?

Firewalls can be annoying, but worms / trojans and being a botnet are worse
