Just a quick note - HotSpotShield and similar services are specifically valuable for users in non-english speaking countries.
The reason they work is because Google will generally redirect queries from non-english speaking countries to non-english versions of Google - and Market Samurai only understands English.
This causes Market Samurai to get confused, and not return results.
HotSpotShield routes your data via computers in English-speaking countries, getting around this issue.
However, the Samurai team is already working on a solution for users outside of english-speaking countries... This will mean users won't need to worry about services like HotSpotShield for much longer.
