This is a question more for the Ubuntu mailing list, really.  but, I
would do this on *any* Linux system:

check these files:

~/.bashrc  (.bashrc on your home directory), and see if the variable
is set there, if no:

sudo /bin/bash  (to get a root shell, on ubuntu, on ther systems: su -):
cd /etc
grep -r http_proxy *

And see on which files is the variable.

Let me see if I get this: did you set up squid just for you?  I mean,
I use squid for me, but it is because I do configuration testing, and
I need to verify them before rolling them to users.
