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

File Deleted : C:\Windows\System32\drivers\taphss6.sys

Key Deleted : HKLM\SOFTWARE\hotspotshield

Key Deleted : HKCU\Software\anchorfree

Folder Found : C:\Users\Sid\AppData\Roaming\hotspot shield

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...

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!

Can I just say thanks for AdwCleaner. I had 140 ad-programs clogging my machine. Your software got rid of them fast! Also, a word to the XP users out there. It is a little strange to be using an operating system no longer supported by MS with utilities and security updates - and then complain that an Adware removal program won't work on it! Your computer is a disaster waiting to happen! Please upgrade to Win 7 at least - for your own sake.

I had to make an account just to thank you for this amazing program.
I had something crazy going on on my computer that installed priceechopp and savemaass as extensions on chrome every time I opened it - making ads pop up everywhere...
I tried going through my installed programs list and deleting things (I found scary things with tricky names that looked normal in there too) but nothing helped
I read forums and forums about people who had the same problem as me and were installing all these programs with none of them helping
Finally someone said that this helped so I tried it
It was so fast, and so weird to see the notepad open with all of these scary files that were deleted - I would have never thought to look for them in those locations

Anyways thank you sooo much.
And for anyone who wants to get rid of pricechopp, this is the only thing I've heard of that actually works.

Bonjour,
AdwCleaner a bien supprimé OfferBox de mon PC (merci beaucoup) mais n’a pas rétabli les paramètres de connexion à internet : OfferBox s'était mis en serveur proxy dans le navigateur Internet Explorer (donc aussi dans Firefox qui reprend les paramètres d'Internet Explorer) donc je n'avais plus de connexion à internet après avoir exécuté AdwCleaner.

AdwCleaner a aussi voulu supprimer ces 3 raccourcis (j'ai évidemment refusé) :
- C:\Users\PC\Desktop\CIC.lnk
- C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CIC.lnk
- C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\CIC.lnk

Pour info, les 3 raccourcis CIC.lnk contiennent :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe" 2421035398.mobile.cic.fr

Merci pour votre investissement dans ce formidable outil qu'est AdwCleaner, bonne continuation.

I want to say Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You! I was having a terrible problem with Royal Coupon on my computer. I literally stopped using my computer because it was so slow. I had downloaded other programs to clean my computer. Hardly a dent in speeding my computer up. 2 hours ago I downloaded Adw Cleaner. I went for lunch. Came back....And Voila!! My computer works like it is NEW AGAIN! This is amazing. Thank you!!!!!! I will recommend you!

I had the supra savings program on my computer so I downloaded Adwcleaner. It removed this but left me with another problem. I run a small business out of my home and Adwcleaner marked all of my invoicing, billing and inventory software as a virus. I can no longer get into these important programs. How can I undo this?

@GlenStobbs, that is because NCH programs are adware. They always advertise their site and their other programs, which is most likely why this program detects it.
