Facebook Spam Problem
 

So it seems my Facebook account has been hacked or something and certain links, pictures, or webpages keep getting posted from my account. I have gone into the apps section under "account settings" and deleted all my apps, but somehow they still keep getting posted, I have downloaded and ran "Microsoft Security Essentials" and nothing came up under a full scan or a quick scan, I have gone into my "Add/delete programs" section in my control panel and it shows no new programs have been added since September 2011 and this problem only started happening a few weeks ago, I have also gone into my internet settings and "Emptied the cache" and "Deleted cookies and other site and plug-in data" none of which has fixed this issue, any help would be appreciated as this is getting on my nerves as well as everyone connected to my FB account, Thanks

I'm pretty sure you've done this but have you changed your passwords? As well turn on the https secure mode.

Yeah I have changed my password, now it keeps opening new webpages or changings pages that I am on to these spam pages like "Poker Tour" or "Are you interested" this is really starting to piss me off and I have no idea how to stop it....

firstly, msconfig, disable everything, restart.

also look for anything suspicious in there, and then you can google it from a different computer on how to remove it.

Try a different browers. IE, FIREFOX, Chrome... whatever else

Auto openning pages sounds like adware/trojan infected. Run antivirus or adware removal program. Not AVG though, it's junk. Change your facebook pwd on a clean computer.

what's this supposed to do? what are we looking for here? its basically like starting in safemode right?


i've walked him through facebook fixes like https, removing apps, changing passwords etc etc.

i dont know enough about the subject but ive determined that it's probably not to do with facebook.

im sure it's his computer that is infected. he's got security essentials updated, and did a FULL scan and it picked nothing up.

im stumped as to how to fix this too.

remove all the bullshit "likes" from your FB account as well as apps and games

also run Malwarebytes
