I've developed an installable version of SquidNT. Basically, the program installs SquidNT for Windows (tested on WinXP, Vista and 7), incorporates an ad and virus / malware blocklist about 10K URLs strong and runs as a service. It also has the potential to speed up browsing by caching common page infos on the hard drive for later fetching. I'm interested in the community testing this out for me and letting me know of any issues they run in to. Also, if there are any Squid gurus out there who have input regarding the way I've configured squid.conf, I would love to hear what you have to say. The program is free as Squid is free; I've just packaged it up as a nice, easy installer (maybe silent is in the future?). I have made NO modifications to the original SquidNT code, and take no credit for anything the developers of Squid, the guys at Acme Consulting, Guido Serassio or Romeo Anghelache have done with Squid or "SquidNT". The .exe can be downloaded from Here. Make sure you save it and run it locally, as installing it from the server seems to cause it to fail halfway though.
