Facebook troubleshooting

[Marita]

I have trouble opening links in facebook. I log in, but can't open my home page or go to my friends or read my inbox messages. It's really frustrating. I thought my browser was the problem, but I have Internet Explorer 7 and according to Facebook Help my browser is eligible and I shouldn't have any problems. I keep refreshing the pages... no luck. I tested my connection and it's fine. The rest of my internet is working great...Any help?

only use internet explorer if you absolutely have to: Here are 2 more secure browsers to choose from:

1)Firefox -> http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
2)Opera -> http://www.opera.com/

Hey thanks for the help. I downloaded mozilla firefox and it opened fb. But if I click on links inside fb it still doesn’t open. To open my messages, I can’t just click on the message subject so that it opens, I need to copy the link and paste it and then follow the address from the location bar. And sometimes that doesn’t even work. I don’t know what’s wrong. It can’t be the website... I got in from my phone, but obviously then I’m limited. Any advice from the guru?

Gotta be some kind of software on your computer blocking certain things:

Click here to download HJTsetup.exe

• Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
• Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
• By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
• Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
• Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
• Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
• At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
• Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
• Save this log then come back here and attach the log using the paperclip icon above your reply
• DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Ok, I downloaded HJTsetup.exe, here's the log you requested. How can this help me? Like you said, a lot of those processes and results are harmless. But anyway, I hope this could be useful to you. Thanks again for the help. I hope you've got good news...

The reason I requested the log is because that is not normal, and with this log I can see the programs/infections that are active on your machine.

You have a number of Trojan and other infection on your computer.
