is this how phorms/webwise is connecting to the isp connection?
Attachment 15951

if so this is happening without my consent then phorms/webwise is intercepting my direct connection without my express permission or consent in doing so is illegal
and is something i would never grant them to do or allow my isp to allow this connection to a third party

http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000..._20000023_en_2

can phorms explain how they insert code into the explorer page after interception and then sent onto other parties sites

as i believe in doing so would be breaking major browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape and Opera html page code of practices
Not entirely sure what you are driving at here, but if it is, as I suspect, "how do they replace the site's ads?", then it's simple. Sites, if they want their ads to be replaced, have to opt in. As such, it is reasonable to assume that if a site's owners want to use Phorm for advertising, the code will already be there.
