norton is nothing more than commercial crapware,
it will not find what you are looking for.

it seems you are infected with malicious software

I suggest you run a scan with malwarebytes .
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

you can get malwarebytes here,
this is a direct download link
so you should have no trouble getting it.
click on this link ↓ and then select run.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/affiliates/2...-setup.exe
INSTALL IT TO YOUR DESKTOP, update it,
then run a full scan and remove everything it finds.

after you have used malwarebytes then do this online scan.
to make sure you have nothing else hiding away.

preferably in safe mode with networking.

Either you're trying to log in to a spoofed Facebook site, or you have malware on your computer; possibly both.

Your anti-virus application tries to protect you from identity theft, by stopping you from entering your Facebook log in at a site that isn't really Facebook. This is the real Facebook site: http://www.facebook.com/

If you go to the real Facebook site and the warning is gone, that means you were previously at a spoofed site that was trying to steal your password.

However, malware will pretend to be an anti-virus application, and may give you false alerts of this kind. Install this application and use it to scan your computer for malware: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

How your cuteling got hold of your password is another matter. Your browser, such as Internet Explorer, may save your password across sessions, or even supply it when you start to log in, if its settings allow that.

Its Security settings may also be allowing bad advertisements on Facebook and the games to install malicious software without your consent.

You can check your browser's settings by clicking the Tools menu at the top, and choosing Internet Options. Then select the tab at the top, for Security and other categories.
