From what I have seen in a quick search of the web the problem is probably that the old MS proxy handled SOCKS and the squid doesn't.
Squid is an HTTP proxy, not a SOCKS proxy. Squid and a SOCKS proxy can run just fine on the same server.
I have an application named stunnel (v4.04) installed on the server which is, I understand, a tool for tunnelling socks connections over http. Can I make squid and this stunnel application work together or is getting stunnel to work a completely separate issue? If so I apologise for being off-topic.
I would install a SOCKS proxy to supplement Squid on your proxy server.
