Given that a Google search for "midADdee" results in nothing, and just
judging by the name itself, it's most likely a randomly generated
name.

If you were to right click on the "midADdee" link, and select
properties, it will show you where the excutable file is located.

If you could then goto that folder via My Computer, right click on the
excutable that the link pointed to, and select properties.

That will tell you the file's size - if you can post that, often it's
enough to identify what the file is.

PS - I can guarantee that only spyware, viruses, etc use randomly
generated filenames.

With all due respect to murph, some legitimate programs generate a
random character filename, at least for part of the filename.  I know
because some internet security software we developed a few years did
so. Some of the newer spyware/adware programs do not show up on Google
for a few days or even a few weeks after their release.  For most
cases, murph is right.
