Phishing - don't follow any links.
Log out and then re-log in.

If you look closely there should be a little x somewhere on it to close it.

It's possible you have some malware but don't download what they offer it will only put in more.

Get a reputable one and scan your pc. Or go to PC Pitstop and let them scan your pc they will give you all sorts of info about what you are running.

Some people are wary of PC Pitstop, but I have used it often with no known downside.

Malwarebites is very good at these sorts of problems.
Do a search for the free version.

Might be worth a free scan

Use alt F4 to close it.

Then change to a real operating system such as linux

I'd log in to facebook using smartphone and change password first. Did you try installing and trying another web browser ? Like firefox ( plus adblock and no script plugins), chrome etc ?

 

[user 19915]

yes my nephew came down we tried about every thing we could think of yesterday we changed my password and it still the same but thank,s for all the replies it was worth ago

Sawdust in your processor, perhaps?

Definately should have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware software running. Start with the free version as I did and the upgrade if you wish. I also run AVG and find that a lot better than Norton

The best thing anyone could do is take Facebook down completely!


*no I'm not a terrorist, I just don't like their Big Brother attitude. I wouldn't trust any of these social media sites as far as I could throw them!
