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
File Deleted : C:\Windows\System32\drivers\hssdrv6.sys
Key Deleted : HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\hotspotshield
Key Deleted : HKLM\SOFTWARE\hotspotshield
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.

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!
@IRON67. Ich weiss, Google-Cache ist #Neuland für dich, deshalb habe ich dir ein Scree.... ähm Bildschirmlichtbild gemacht: http://abload.de/img/changelogy7u94.png
Meinen Realnamen findest du seit 16 Jahren im gelben Board unter Kontakt. Ich weiss leider nicht, wie ich es für dich einfacher machen könnte. Abgesehen davon, brauchst du dich nicht registrieren, da du einen Account schon hast: http://www.trojaner-board.de/member.php?u=1000
Ich muss aber leider feststellen, dass du als gutefrage-User immer noch von den Fähigkeiten über dem Durchschnitt der Mitglieder dort liegst, also mach weiter so.
Auch dir ein frohes Fest, und...
