How to disable Fiddler [closed]

Question

I aware that this will be a less programming question, but still...

How can I completely disable fiddler. I went to options->connections and unchecked all checkboxes, disabled File->capture traffic, went to IE and disabled Fiddler addin, went to connections and removed all proxies and still all my pages (on IE and chrome, FF is fine) go through fiddler. All would be good if Fiddler wouldn't break that much, especially when sending lots of files. When I tried to uninstall fiddler completely all pages just stopped working at all

So how do I disable Fiddler say in IE or better in whole system.

This drives me crazy for few weeks already :(

Answer 1

I try not to post answers to my own questions. But I decided to do it this time. After two weeks of strugling I gave all my attention to this problem today.

It appears that a proxy was set in VPN. I didn't know that you can set proxy to a VPN connection. In Network settings go to your VPN connection, then to proxy and disable Fiddler there too

Answer 2

I was not aware that Fiddler could run by itself, without you having started it. It seems to me that if you don't see Fiddler, then it's not there.

This could be why it's driven you crazy trying to disable it - it's not there.

Answer 3

You can completely uninstall fiddler but you must go into the fiddler folder itself (\Program Files\Fiddler2 by default) where a uninst.exe will be found. That will remove it completly. Otherwise, you can disable it from the add-ons menu in firefox.

I found out that you need to disable the plug-in in the internet explorer settings.

Internet Properties -> Programs -> Manage Add-ons
