Hi im a bit of a newbie at all this but i got the about blank adware yesterday and searched for solutions that didnt involve posting hijack this logs . Yhe results where far and few between , so i decided to mess around a bit and searched for files that had been added that day and found a file called madopew.dll and deleted it then changed my home page back to google up to now every thing been ok except for occasional hangs so i dont know if the problem is fully resolved any ideas anyone ?
