Here is an answer I post regularly to other members with a similar problem as yours and the answer has helped and has resolved their problems. Try it and see how you get on (sorry if it reads as generic but follow it as it has worked in the past with many other members).

-----------------

Try scanning your computer with Malwarebytes. What I've found is while antivirus software is good for viruses, it's not that great with spyware/malware.

Malwarebytes - https://store.malwarebytes.org/342/cooki...duct=29945 . I have used Malwarebytes at various client sites in the past and it has always been good a picking up nasties and removing them that antivirus software such as Symantec, Trend and NOD32 was unable to do.

Here what I would recommend you should do:

1. Download Malwarebytes from here: https://store.malwarebytes.org/342/cooki...duct=29945

2. Restart your computer. When your computer starts up, after the BIOS/logo screen, press [F8] and choose "SAFE MODE with Networking" (*very important!*). Install Malwarebytes on your computer. Now update Malwarebytes.

3. Open Malwarebytes and do a **FULL SCAN** (very important to do FULL SCAN) from Malwarebytes and wait for it to finish. This will take some time to complete so be patient.

4. Remove/delete all the nasties it has found then reboot your computer again in *SAFE MODE*.

5. Run a [FULL SCAN] again from Malwarebytes in case there are more nasties that didn't show up the first time as generally deleting the first lot of nasties, it 'unhides' more nasties.


Now see how your computer behaves afterwards.

=========================

Once you've done all that and everything is clean, make sure you CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS to twitter and FB.

Let me know how you get on and whether this has fixed it
