@johndough: Thank you, couldn't find anything about this anywhere.. since a few days Firefox randomly opens



lzpv4smat.com



and tries to save an "adobe-flashplayer-update" from dohehuslade.com.


Also i found some suspicous cookies which i deleted, but the site reappears and i can't find anything on google about this.



I am on Windows 7 and can't really follow your fixes, also I am obviously no pro. So it would be great if you can explain where to find that "HOSTS" file and which registry entries have been the problem..
Running AVAST virus scan and pre boot scan didn't help.
