    In the location:

    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
    Code (markup):
    I have two files,

    hosts
    hosts.new
    Code (markup):
    Should these both be here?

    hosts contains:

    127.0.0.1       localhost
    ::1             localhost
    Code (markup):

    and

    hosts.new contains:

    127.0.0.1       localhost
    Code (markup):
    am i infected with some sort of adware? :confused:

    Thanks for your help,
