I want to access facebook but always get to another domain?

I want to access facebook but always get to another domain?
For a few days now I want to access facebook and instead I am always re-directed to another website. The site seems to be a legitimate business and I have done research on that business. They are on LinkedIn and I communicated with one of their employees.
I deleted cookies and browsing history, rebooted and got to facebook again. After a short time though I wanted to access facebook again and got back to that company's site.

Something I noticed: That business (mediaplex.com) has a green logo with a white bat inside (or bird), this logo shows up in my address bar even when I am able to go to facebook. Instead of the facebook logo next to the address I see the green logo next to facebook.com.

I find that weird.

Some suggested that my browser was hijacked, others suggest that a wrong IP is sent from my router. I have 4 PCs connected to that router and one notebook, only 2 PCs show the symptom.
However, when I did a virus scan on my notebook yesterday, a cookie for mediaplex.com was removed. I never went to that site on my notebook which kind of makes me wonder if it has something to do with the router after all.

Please help. My money is tight, I depend on working with the computer, I market my business through FB and I can't afford virus removal service.

Thanks

Susan

Virus removal is Free.
if you do it yourself.

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.

some viruses will try to disable it
so if malwarebytes will not start up/install
save it to your desktop,
before you save Malwarebytes,
rename it to something like explorer.exe
and then click on Save and save it to your desktop.
Same thing after you install it.
Before running it, rename the main executable file first.

if it still will not install,
Right-click on the mbam-setup.exe file
and change the .exe extension to .bat, .com, .pif, or .scr
then double-click on it to run.

If after installation, MBAM will not run,
open the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware folder on your desktop
or if you failed to install it to your desktop,
it will be found in the Program Files,
right-click on mbam.exe and change the .exe as noted above.
Then double-click on it to run..

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.



☼good luck.
