Either two things have happened. They have stolen your password and are spamming other people. Or, more likely, you have malware on your computer spamming your friends. First step, download Malware Bytes

Update and run a full scan, remove anything it finds. If nothing is found, it is safe to change your password.

create a very good password for facebook... use even 2 or 3 short passwords combined to create a long one.

change it every few months....

for ex:
my password is "mycatsname.afewnumbers.bestfriendsname.fewmorenumbers.

never had a virus on facebook...

it doesnt hurt to have a virus scanner on your computer... most the time the virus's are just on facebook...

a good free antivirus for windows is "avg antivirus"

I think you can just simply login to your account, go to your personal/account setting and change your password. You can also before that temporarily change your date of birth as it is sometimes a security check to help users login. I hope that helps.

if you have APPs on facebook, try checking them, if you don't like app on facebook remove them.

plus

change your password.

Password and Security Question...

Strong Password is most important part so don't forget that, search on google for "How to Creat Strong Password" and I'm sure you'll find how in many sites.

and don't add answers to your security questions on facebook 'cause if some one is trying they'll find out sooner or later.
there are tools for hacking facebook but strong password will not let that happen.

hope this helps

You will need to get the security firewall and the antivirus program. Clean up your computer and make sure to change your password monthly since hackers are able to find out by taking random bits of your information and guess the password correctly.

Also change your email address and username.

Good luck!
