Fake Facebook message, now I can't click on anything without being redirected to other websites?

[Elizabeth R]

Last night, I clicked on my Facebook inbox because it said I had a new message. When I opened the message, it turned out to be fake and wasn't actually sent by my friend. Now, whenever I click on a link in a website, I get redirected to fake advertisement and coupon websites. If I do a search on Google, legitimate search results will show up, but when I click on them, I end up at the fake websites. I changed my Facebook password and did a virus scan of my computer, but I still can't figure out how to fix it. Also, when I logged onto Facebook today, a fake message was posted as my status update even AFTER I had changed my password.

Windows is just vulnerable to this stuff.

I got a similar thing on my linux, and I just had to delete my Firefox user details and it was all great.

Microsoft sux big time.
