How to get rid of face book virus? - BigBen - 02-28-2013 08:38 AM

I picked up a virus on face book, I was sent an email with a youtube video in it and I clicked on it and it was a virus. My computer is running slow, internet explorer will not open I have to use Netscape. Internet Explorer did work for a while but when I went to facebook it had a frivalous account on thier. I can get to my facebook page via Netscape and its fine
