Right click the hosts file and open it with notepad, you will probably see the problem there. If it is full of shite - you more than likely have a rootkit and would be best off doing a fresh install rather than sorting it out :)

It seem's, i aint the only 1 who has got this problem, and the virus scanners, and adware scanners are clear. So it might just be facebook? Doesn't do it on any other site.

FF and i've got Lavasoft Adaware, Avast., Avira AntiVir Personal, and Superantispyware. And all Adware progams find cookies. Thats it. :(

What browser? Either way, switch to another browser and see if it continues. That eliminates the browser anyway.

If it's when you go onto certain parts of facebook, sounds like a rootkit has edited your hosts file to override the IP for some things.

If the hosts file is clean then is probably some shitty toolbar or malware. Download Lavasoft Adaware and give it a run, and also download CCleaner and give that a run through.

My facebook keeps going on to a gambling site, i could be browsing along facebook and it would just change? I've scanned for virus and ad-ware but nothing? Any ideas? :look:
