Hi Buddy,

Those proxies were so called botnet proxies. Often very slow as well. It's just the same to me are those proxies gone or not. I used to scan for those proxies at speed of 1 million IPs a day and found usually 20-40 new every day.

Those proxies died far too fast considering efforts used so I stopped.

It's speculation but either anti-virus softwares finally detected that virus or the maker of virus simply changed port or blocked public access.
