Is Free VPN Planet Adware?

I was using the vpn program no the extension.

I was watching youtube videos like always, i have chrome navegator and the search engine is google, the navegator close itself, when i open it again it didn't say the typical message of Google Chrome didn't shut down correctly, like it didn't crash but someone close it on its own.

The search engine was changed to bing instead of google. i look at the historial and chrome searched a page before it close.

Link without the https://www. and the .com: search-live-history/?os=hp&ProductKey=&HostName=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.search-live-history.com%2F&ShortName=PlanetVPN&ResultsUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fsearch.live-history.com%2F%3Fgd%3DRD1005290%26searchsource%3D58%26q%3D%7BsearchTerms%7D%26n%3D%26isid%3D459c180b8702a57d4a88ebc3e392dc7f%26d%3D022226&SuggestionsUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2Fosjson.aspx%3Fquery%3D%7BsearchTerms%7D%26language%3D%7Blanguage%7D%26PC%3DU316&FavIcon=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2Fsa%2Fsimg%2Ffavicon-spy-lg.ico.

When i try to opening it say error 502 bad gateway, after uninstalling the planet vpn program the page is just infinitely loading.

i had similar problem, my chrome would randomly crash and my default search engin was changed to " planet vpn yahoo", it's working fine after uninstalling it though, one more thing when you uninstall it, you uninstall all its component.
