Default browser keeps opening new windows and redirecting to homepage.

First, my browser keeps redirecting to homepage/new tab page (On Startup selection) whenever I’m working on a tab so I can’t do anything for more than 5 minutes. I saw on the address line below it’s usually redirected to “yandex.ru” while the homepage is still on the screen. Then I accidentally “End process tree” of some “svchost.exe” and now my browser randomly open new window, sometimes it’s non-stop like every 5 seconds, even when I changed default browser. I’ve checked Extensions and Programs, nothing’s strange.

All browsers keep resetting to homepage while I'm working (I'm using Chrome, CocCoc and Internet Explorer), and which I set as default automatically opens new windows.

When I'm working on a tab it automatically opens the homepage in that tab (or new tab page - depending on what I chose in "On Startup" setting), and I have to click back to continue what I'm doing. Sometimes it happened every minute so I can't fill forms.

Oh I'm sorry but it's a lot and I can't remember what I clicked, so I don't know what svchost I should expand.
