Twice, someone tried login into my Facebook from unfamiliar location. Is my laptop infected?

When I tried to log into my Facebook this morning, I received a message stating that my account was locked. The message told me that someone had tried to access my account from an unfamiliar location "using [my] password." This was the second time someone have tried to log into my account within a span of 48 hours. The first from Taiwan and the most recent from Japan. Probably someone is hiding his/her IP. I tried the two factor authentication, but turned it off thinking the previous attempt was nothing. I've checked the "Your Browsers and Apps" from the security settings and have yet to see anything out of place. What worries me was the message indicating that someone was "using [my] password." I had already changed my password multiple times since the first log in attempt. I have also conducted a scan of my computer through Malwarebytes and Avast! Free and found nothing.

 

I am incredibly worried about the fact that someone was able to use my password to log into my account, even after I had changed it. I wanted to ask you guys if you could check and see if my laptop had a keylogger or virus of some sort. I would really like to keep my personal information, not only those found in Facebook, but also my other accounts, safe.

 

Thank you for all your help.

Hello and welcome,

P2P/Piracy Warning:

If you're using Peer 2 Peer software such as uTorrent, BitTorrent or similar you must either fully uninstall them or completely disable them from running while being assisted here.Failure to remove or disable such software will result in your topic being closed and no further assistance being provided.If you have illegal/cracked software, cracks, keygens etc. on the system, please remove or uninstall them now and read the policy on Piracy.

 

I do not see any obvious malware/infection in those logs. Regarding FaceBook, as that is web based the hacker does not really need any access to your laptop to crack your password..

 

Lets have some scans run, see what turns up...

 

Download tfc_icon.png TFC  to your desktop, from either of the following links:

http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/TFC.exe
http://itxassociates.com/OT-Tools/TFC.exe


  •    
  • Save any open work. TFC may close all open application windows.
       
  • Double-click TFC.exe to run the program. Vista or Windows 7/8/10 users accept the UAC alert if offered.
       
  • If prompted, click "Yes" to reboot.

TFC will automatically close any open programs, Possibly including your Desktop. Let it run uninterrupted. It shouldn't take longer than a couple of minutes, and may only take a few seconds.  TFC may re-boot your system, if not Re-boot it yourself to complete cleaning process <---- Very Important

Windows 10 may post an error for the start menu, sign out and back in then re-boot...

Keep TFC it is an excellent, run weekly utility to keep your system optimized, it empties all user temp folders, Java cache etc etc.  

Always remember to re-boot after a run, even if not prompted

Thanks for the reply. So far, I am up to the Malwarebytes part and the settings were already there. There were no reports of anything negative on my laptop. Should I continue? I don't feel completely safe about downloading more programs.

 

Also, I have CCleaner. It seems as though TFC does the same thing. Should I keep both? One or the other?

TFC is a pure temp file and cache cleaner, it does not make any registry changes, CCleaner does both, not an app i`d recommend...

 

If you are satisfied your system is clean and good to go there is no need to download and run any more scans... We can just clean up as follows...

 

Download "Delfix by Xplode" and save it to your desktop.

Or use the following if first link is down:

"Delfix link mirror"

Double Click to start the program. If you are using Vista or higher, please right-click and choose run as administrator

Make Sure the following items are checked:



  •    
  • Remove disinfection tools



Now click on "Run" and wait patiently until the tool has completed.

The tool will create a log when it has completed. We don't need you to post this.

Any remnant files/logs from tools we have used can be deleted…

Thank you,
