I would scan the PC for malware. That definitely does not happen to me when I go to facebook.com. Have you scanned your PC lately?

No, I haven't. Microsoft Security Essentials reports that it is scanning for viruses. I have Malwarebytes anti-malware.

After I posted the message above, I found I could not stream Netflix on my TV either. It said there was a problem with the connection. I shut everything down, started the computer again, and now everything seems to be fine. Facebook loaded instantly, and Netflix is normal.

Hopefully it'll stay that way. Thanks!!

Just to be sure, you should update Malwarebytes and run a full scan on all your drives.

When is the last time MSE was updated and a full scan was performed?

You may also want to include Spyware Blaster or Superantispyware as part of your layered protection. I have found a trojan on a machine using Superantispyware that neither MSE or MBAM detected. It only happened once, but it did happen.

Definitely update malwarebytes and do full scan, as mentioned also do an updated superantispyware scan.
When it tells you that you want to close out of there something is trying to redirect you.
Report back on what the scans found.

I updated Malwarebytes and did the full scan. One file detected (Adware.GamePlayLabs), quarantined, and deleted.

I won't be able to do any more until Monday. Thanks for helping!

Thanks for the Superantispyware tip! I downloaded it and did a full scan. It found one Rogue.MSE-Fraud and one Adware Somoto, which were removed. Does this this program do everything Malwarebytes does, and then some? In other words, is there any point in keeping Malwarebytes?

Before the Superantispyware scan, the problem I described with FB above showed up when I tried to access Google as well. So far no problem with either.

not either or, but both just keep both and use them each for full scans but always update them, they are fine together and with your antivirus since they are only running when you choose to run a scan, don't run them both at exactly the same time of course. this is layered protection which is the ultimate way to keep a pc safe and clean. If you don't have spywareblaster that one should be added also. just update it once a week or 2 let it get the latest definitions, hit the enable all protection button and the shield will turn green thats it no scans it just sits there and protects your surfing, no need to change any settings leave it just as it comes default.
SpywareBlaster
be sure to get the free one, when you click on the download free button it will open a new page offering the trial version for the pay just ignore that and select to continue with the free download.

It is my opinion that you should have the following programs loaded onto your computer, and you should update and run them regularly to ensure that your computer is up-to-date and protected:

Microsoft Security Essentials
Malwarebytes Antimalware
Superantispyware
SpywareBlaster
Secunia PSI
WinPatrol

Rather than me try to explain what they do to protect your computer, just google each one and read it for yourself. I think other folks here will verify that these are worthwhile programs to have on your computer. And, they are all free!!!!!!

You've already seen what a couple of them have done for you. I'm surprised someone hasn't suggested for you to go to the landzdown website for a thorough scan. I have been really impressed with those folks!

this is the post Corrine had in her Security Garden blog about this pest fake MSE rogue back in 2010
Beware: Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Rogue

and the bleeping computer instructions for removal
Remove the Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Trojan and AntiSpySafeguard

It most definitely would be a good idea to have it looked at over at LzD even though it appears that malwarebytes or superantispyware should be able to remove it.
My concern is why malwarebytes did not show it?

I would at the very least update malwarebytes and run another full scan and do the same with superantispyware just to see if any thing has returned.

When I opened up your link to Corrine's blog I realized that I saw that fake alert last year sometime. When it appeared I left it on the screen and then used my upstairs computer to look it up. That's how I found out it was a fake. I then followed those directions to remove it. I haven't seen it since, but apparently it (or part of it?) lingered on my computer.

I'll do the updates and scans, Raven--thanks!

See this is exactly why we send people to LzD to make sure the pc is fully clean because things do get left behind with these infections and you have no idea what part of it, many of these rogues have backdoors and rootkits in them that are extremely hard to remove and continue to send your info to some one some where as long as it is on there.

I would suggest going to LzD lets run a few scans and make darn sure this thing is gone this time.

go here register for the site, post you own thread there in the malware removal section, and tell what has happened and put a link back to this thread here please.
Analysis and Malware Removal

Thanks, Raven. I'll do it on Monday, when I'll have time to give it my attention.
