Wise words ...
oxy: What do you consider to be "secure"? Secure/safe from what?
Do you have ssh access to your proxy-server? Do you control sshd.config? In that case it will be easy to set up a tunnel with OpenSSH, which encrypts your connection. Aside from OpenSSH on _nix boxes that would also allow you to use the proxy from any (alien) Windows box, using BitViseTunnelier, for example.
For more detailed info you need to give more info on your setup and about what you are aiming for.
Kind regards Eike
