Can't load Facebook on any browser?

I'm not concerned of not being able to get on Facebook, I'm worried of any malware on my computer.

I've tried Chrome, Firefox and IE, still nothing. I only get a Google Error, Not Found page. Also noticed if I restart my computer, it will load the page perfectly fine but after some time in the day, it will give me the same Not Found page again.

I've scanned my computer using 2 different anti-virus programs but nothing :confused:

Anyone experiencing this? I'm pretty sure Facebook isn't down so...? Do I have myself a virus or what?

what anti-virus programs have you tried?
have you looked at your host file? (google this)

try panada anti-virus scan in safe mode

Are you on a network that is not monitor by you? Maybe someone blocked it through the router...

Have you checked your hosts file ?

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Open w/ Notepad

It should be:

Code:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.

#

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

#

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

#

# For example:

#

#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server

#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
 

127.0.0.1       localhost

::1             localhost

Some pieces of malware will edit this file to block certain websites (or certain people like myself edit it just to fuck w/ people). For example, adding the line 127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com will block Facebook on any browser.

I've checked that file, looks exactly like that. I guess I gotta try scanning with another anti-virus
