@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

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
Folder Deleted : C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\hotspot shield
Folder Deleted : C:\Program Files (x86)\hotspot shield
Folder Deleted : C:\Windows\SysWOW64\hotspot shield

Key Deleted : HKCU\Software\anchorfree
Folder Found : C:\Users\Sid\AppData\Roaming\hotspot shield
Folder Found : C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\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.
This latest version has many false positives. In favorites, i have a folder name 'online' it is detecting that folder. In registry, it is detecting IDM helper addon for IE (I have Internet download manager installed). In firefox, it is detecting an addon xpi file 'SuperDrag', i have been using this addon for months it is not a adware. Please fix this problems if possible.
Thanks a lot for this superb program.
This is one of my favorite programs when i clean up friends computers, it has saved me many, many times, thank you for making it free, awesome work!!
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...
@IRON: In Foren werden keine Beiträge gelöscht. War schon immer so und wird auch so bleiben. Vielleicht kommst du drauf, warum das so ist. Es gibt eine "Kennwort vergessen" Funktion. Aber egal, ich spare mir Erklärungen dazu.
M-K-D-B ist tatsächlich beschäftigt mit wichtigeren Dingen. Wie immer irrst du oft mit Dingen, von denen du glaubst eine Ahnung zu haben. Vieles ist und bleib doch eine "Blackbox" für dich.
Ich weise aber hier mal darauf hin, dass das Internet kein rechtsfreier Raum ist und dir kein Urteil über mich mehr anmaßen solltest. Danke für die Aufmerksamkeit. EOD
@DaGuRu. Ich habe keinen Account mehr im TB - schon lange nicht mehr. Ich hatte sogar darauf bestanden, dass meine damaligen Beiträge gelöscht wurden. Sollte dies entgegen der Zusicherung nicht der Fall sein, umso schlimmer. Jedenfalls habe ich keinen Zugang zum Board und kann mich dort nicht einloggen. Ich müsste mich schon neu registrieren und das werde ich sicherlich nicht tun. Dein Link nützt mir daher nichts.
Successfully removed "www.mystartsearch.com" from Windows 8.1 x64 Notebook.
After I have tried all to me known procedures including Malwarebyte, Nod32 and other antivirus programs this was the only program that succeeded to remove adaware/virus "www.mystartsearch.com" from my notebook.
Thank you!
AdwCleaner just got rid of that noxious weed called "MyRadioPlayer" that sneaked by my virus protection. No problems encountered on Win 8.1 Pro.
MERCI!
