I think there is some confusion. Either on my part or some of the other posters. The issue is not they are getting out of the network through an open proxy, at least I hope not, because if thats the case then they have bigger problems with network config. The issue is that once they go out their proxy they hit another one to obfuscate where they are coming from. However, by going thorugh the open proxy they danger themselves up to information leakage/interception which was the original concern. Perhaps the original poster can clarify?

If the corporate is using windows 2k/xp, you could consider setting the GPO to restrict modification of the INNET settings. (technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457144.aspx). Of course, this still doesn't stop cgi/web-based proxies.
