Why is my Proxy Checking Software not showing IP Countries?

Last week I downloaded "Anonymous Guest" which is a proxy checker, that checks if proxies are good or bad. For the first day I was using it, it worked good, and showed me the countrry location of all of the ips before i tested them. Now when I use it, for every list I try checking, it leaves the country location blank, for every single proxy. I even tried checking lists that I had checked before that originally showed the location but now it is just leaving location blank every time. I even checked the settings, and show ip location is enabled.

I have tried downloading a couple other proxy checkers, but they all leave location blank, or say N/A for 'Not Available'. Is there something on my computer blocking the locations from being checked? because it was working before but now it isn't.

I appreciate any help and advice.

Thank you!

    You download malware and the proxies are also full of malware.

    It is not showing because the server is sending and error back when you are requesting the location, or because the header redirect does not include info. The best way to see if the location is working is first use the proxy, then check it on ZapMyip.com to see if it it is displaying your info. You don't need to download proxy detection software. Just go to that site and it will check for you.

    Each server your pc connects via to get to a web web page logs your IP and vacation spot, so sure. And if the laws within the Euro-land approach are converted to what some need, the internet vendors shall be legally required to store the addresses of each person you ship/receive e-mail from and ALL web sites you visited in final 18 months to three yrs
