First of all : it is a very bad idea to continue working on an infected 
machine. You do not know what exactly has happened to the system.
The only sensible thing is to start with a freshly setup system.

Is this firewall also preventing access from the inside network to the 
internet ("default deny") - because if not, using a proxy will not 
prevent anybody from accessing the internet regardless what the proxy 
setup is. squid translates requests that reach it; it has no means of 
preventing internet access by other ways, e.g. directly. Since you say 
you can ping the destination I assume that your firewall is not 
preventing access to the sites in question.
Hope this helps,
