Hi again, I found the reports at C:\AdwCleaner. You may find them on the same link http://1drv.ms/16uCsum
Concerning the uninstall procedure I explained below, the pictures were actually from the Quarantine Manger. Thanks!
@cocochepeau Hi, As, after AdwCleaner requested to restart the computer after scan and clean, I was not able to log in anymore into the standard account from where I ran AdwCleaner, Therefore I didn't get the report, but I guess it should still be somewhere on my computer. I ran again AdwCleaner but with starting the scan, just to see if it sees the report, but the Report button is grayed out. I downloaded several versions of AdwCleaner, so I may not ran the same version. I don't know if that matters. On the other hand, if I press uninstall (without actually starting the uninstall) I see the files from the quarantine, but not the changes made to the registry. For the files you may take a look at: http://1drv.ms/16uCsum
nevermind, already solve the problem, it was an extension of google chrome -.-
Hello, AdwCleaner cant find the adware that is modifying my homepage, my homepage opens this site: Trollface.biz and this site http://loansexpress.info/ i also tried to install YAC (yet another cleaner) and it cant find the problem too. please help
Changing the standard account into admin allows to log in into the account. Changing it back into standard account brings back the failure to log in.
Actually, I get the same behavior on a newly created standard account: welcome, black screen and then logging off. I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Thanks!

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.

I'm afraid I need to ask again. Seems my concern was overlooked. The problem can be seen on many computer help forums. Original message:
"AdwCleaner removes Hotspot Shield. However, many users have messed up their Internet connections in the process. If you're reading this, please see what you can do to correct the issue. Thanks"
I don't know why it's seeing Hotspot Shiled as adware. It's a legitimate application.
Thank you for fixing the issue, and for this very useful program.
@tgilles1 You can use AdwCleaner to clean any workstations you want, don't need to pay additional costs.
Bonsoir Xplode
AdwCleaner 4.109 détecte bien ColorMedia et propose la suppression des services cmwr et cmwfp ainsi que la suppression des fichiers C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwr.sys et C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwf.sys mais au reboot du PC les services et les fichiers annoncés comme supprimés par AdwCleaner sont toujours là!
Voici un extrait du fichier des logs:
***** [ Services ] *****
[#] Service Supprimé : ColorMedia
Service Supprimé : cmwf
[#] Service Supprimé : cmwr
[#] Service Supprimé : CMWFP
***** [ Fichiers / Dossiers ] *****
Fichier Supprimé : C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwr.sys
Fichier Supprimé : C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\cmwf.sys
