Some supporting notes for some other stuff...
_3) Regarding the remaining leftover hide.me app on Windows 7 machine after I de- installed it
….( hide.me that was still showing in my program list after I had de installed, and note also that on restarting the windows 7 machine with the remaining left over hideme app, a hideme typically window came up , did something for a while, then another hide me window came up and offered me the chance to buy premium!! )

I tried the Revo Unistaller as suggested, http://revo-uninstaller.en.softonic.com/ .
This was also not able to de install the hide.me that was still showing in my program list after I had de installed it: Revo also cannot de install the remaining hide.me.jpghttps://imgur.com/HY7pSIy
After this failed attempt, I performed the scan that Revo offered.
This scan took several hours. The scan first showed these left over registry things, Revo scan found left over hideme.jpg : https://imgur.com/r99WKN6

Finally it appears that all left over hide.me files are gone: hideme no longer listed in programs.jpg : https://imgur.com/9aentWL
A restart is said to remove some files, .. Revo says remainig files will be deleted by restart.jpg : https://imgur.com/QTjDtf1 , so I restarted.
It seemed at this stage, ( after a restart) that the hideme app was completely removed.
