As for the proxy server, im not sure it's intentional or not. Dad has has a DSL router/modem in 1 from at&t yahoo and has multiple pcs and phones connected. Would removing the proxy stuff above effect any of that?

I can't tell you for sure... my guess is those entries remain from the malware, but I couldn't tell you if your dad has a use for it.

If he's not aware of needing a proxy server, it's safe to delete them and easy to replace them later. You would just need to go to that location in regedit and recreate those keys.

I assume there is no use for them, my dad is not cpu savy at all and i assume the router didn't create those on its own.
