So I don't know how, but I got Fiddler on my computer (I didn't approve any installation), and it's blocking me from using the internet. Every time I try to access it I get this error:
The Socket Connection to the upstream proxy/gateway failed. Closing fiddler, changing your system proxy settings and restarting Fiddler may help.
ErrorCode 10061. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:14369.
I don't know what Fiddler is or where it is installed, because my computer doesn't list it under Tools, Programs, Gadgets, or Chrome Extensions. Where is it installed, and how can I uninstall it?

Fiddler is an internet tracing and debugging tool; if you don't need it, I would uninstall it, but it should do no harm unless it is actively running; but if it is running, all web traffic will be routed through it.
Changes to proxy settings could also indicate a virus, make sure your virus scanner is up to date.
