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.
Folder Deleted : C:\ProgramData\hotspot shield

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.
It's a very useful tool - thank you!
I have a feature request: Check box setting to go straight to reboot after cleaning. :)
After running you program the only things I could see listed were the files under the files tab. I selected them and selected the clean button. Your program cleaned them, closed my computer and rebooted. All seemed well until I went into my task manager. To my surprise under the processes tab, 82 Background Processes were listed in addition to 5 Apps. Many seemed to be duplicates (25) (Google Chrome (32 bit). Is this normal? Was it a mistake to delete those files? If so can it be reversed? If not why wasn't there a strong warning stating the consequences?

Good Morning!
I'm trying to uninstall your program. I'm assuming it's a single use program, that is download it when you need it, then, delete it. I'm afraid I don't understand your above term "using the 'mode uninstall.'
I see Adware in my downloads file, but there's no uninstaller. It's not listed in "Programs & Features," so I can't uninstall from there.
I'm trying to get numerous SearchScopes entries OUT of my registry. While I successfully downloaded & ran Adware from Bleeping Computer this morning, when I tried to download from your site, Sonar blocked it. I don't know what Sonar is, so I figure I'd better uninstall, clean out Adware, and do some reading before I try again.
Is the "mode uninstall" a new term/function? Can someone help me understand,please? Appreciativley...
I had a computer that was infected with a browser hijacking called gamersinfo.org but Adwcleaner didn't pick it up. Maybe you haven't added it to the database so would really appriciate if you did.
Bitdefender Total Security 2014 me détecte une vérole dès que je veux télécharger la version 4.107.

Salut à vous,
J'ai actuellement constaté une chose étrange sur AdwCleaner 4.106:
il me détecte le dossier qui contient Adblock comme malveillant:
C:\Users\nom\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom
Suis-je le seul ?
There are two wrong definitions in the database, please correct that.

Those are two firefox plugins:

Empty Cache Button: https://addons.mozilla.org/bg/firefox/addon/empty-cache-button/
Of course check that.
I'm running Windows 8.1 Enterprise (x86), Firefox 34.0;
I've donated you three times.
Do that and there will be a fourth.
Thank you!
