    Hey everyone, I'm hoping I can get some help because I cannot get this resolved after trying many things.

    Just yesterday I noticed that when I wake my computer up from sleep mode, or just restart or boot up my computer, my google chrome opens 10-20 tabs attempting to reach Facebook links. Here are a couple examples:


    htt ps://fbcdn-photos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/test-favela.html?529354585

    ht tps://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/test-favela.html?509812954

    I have run malware bytes and norton anti virus to no avail, I have cleared cookies, changed Facebook passwords, rolled back my computer a day, and went to msconfig and disabled a facebook updater on start up.

    I really have no idea what to do, and google searches bring back nothing. I saw one other post on the mozilla firefox forums with the problem I have, but the answer was just go to a spyforum for help.

    Please help. Thank you.
