When Firefox is started, two folders (file name doomed & entries) are created in the Profiles folder cache2 if they are not previously there.

The doomed folder stays empty but the entries folder grows with random files and file names (i.e. 00D744768447749F5F14FA0214E2DAFAB53BD144) as I surf the web. The file type is dollarkeeper with sizes of 4-400KB. It had grown to over a gigabyte so I set Firefox to clear the cache on exit.

This problem might be a remnant of a DNS Unlocker virus I had. I uninstalled all the ad software that was added by this program and reinstalled Firefox. I also replace Microsoft Securities Essentials, first with AVAST, and then with AT&T McAfee.

I am running Window 7, Firefox, and Thunderbird

That is the Firefox disk cache and the file names consist of a hash value and have nothing to do with 'dollarkeeper' or another application that Windows may associate files with such a name.

You can inspect files in the cache via the about:cache page. You can open "about" pages via the location/address bar.

  • "about" is a protocol to access special pages
