Here are most of the entries I could find. I believe the Hotspot Shield drivers might be the culprit. One user had a driver inside Device Manager. Replacing that driver with one from another working computer seems to have corrected the connection issue.

Couldn't remember password..so I made a new account.
@cocochepeau I emailed VIPRE about 2 days ago, and yes they confirmed: IT IS A FALSE POSITIVE. They said to make sure your software has the newest VIPRE definitions to the latest version (36814 or higher) and scan the file again...it found no threats to Adwcleaner.
So, it is safe to use!
I used your software to try and delete V9 and DeltaHomes, but no luck. It seemed to 'clean' up alot of things, but I haven't noticed any change. Can I please get some help?
Adwcleaner gave me a virus! Found in Downloads/adwcleaner_4.106.exe

please add NJAX malware removal on your software, he's blocking youtube access in firefox/chrome, thanks
Thank you for creating and continuing to update AdwCleaner. My 68 year old neighbor called me asking for help removing what turned out to be "Ads by CheckMeUp". Your software worked perfectly, and even found and resolved another issue as well. I am going to donate to help you continue your efforts. It's not a lot, but i hope everyone you help is able to donate something...thanks again!
awesome software, uses this at home and at work to clean desktop and laptop computers :)
