Could recent facebook hack be linked to think point virus?

[Ann]

I recently logged on and it said my account had suspicious activity and had been accesed from somewhere else.
Could it be linked to the fact that my computer had a "think point" virus and I went on facebook while I had the virus?
And whoever went on my account didn't inbox anyone or do anything at all- is it something to be worried about? I have a lot of information they could have viewed which worries me. I did change my password and am no longer accessing facebook from the infected computer.

Yes. It very much so could be. Thanks or rather no thanks to who ever hacked your computer.

I doubt it. Thinkpoint is a fake anti-virus program that wants your money. Wants you to pay to remove bogus crap.

Assume the Facebook thing is related to something else.
