PS, there are several types of intercepting proxy as well. To date, discussions have been centred on those that sit on another machine (usually a gateway), and divert TCP SYN packets etc. However, on Windows, there are other types, using either TDI filtering or Winsock2 Layered Service Provider approaches to "break into" the HTTP data stream. The purpose of these is also commonly the same as filtering at a gateway - i.e. antivirus, or content control most big-name AV companies install technology like this in their internet security suites, as well as many net nanny type apps. These apps have other ways to make themselves known to the user of the machine, since they reside on it, but there may be considerations that could apply to them as well.
