Facebook.com Firefox redirect?

[Tiburon1186]

Has anyone else encountered this? Every once in awhile when I type in facebook.com into firefox it auto-redirects me to another site. The site is usually different every time, but sometimes it is myspace.com. I was thinking it's a history issue or a small little redirect code that I picked up while surfing the internet. I cleared out the history and its still there. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Sounds like spyware to me.
Your hosts file could have been hijacked.

spyware/malware.

Check your internet connection settings in the control panel and make sure they have not been hijacked.

I like to use these for cleaning:

To prevent issues I like to use:

Windows firewall

You can also use add-ons for firefox:

Note: Some may not allow scripts or site functionality to run. This is handy if you get a bad link.

Hit it with Malwarebytes, SAS and ComboFix. Check your Hosts file.
Also, make sure a fake Proxy was not set up in FireFox's settings. And make sure no strange looking add-ons/plugins are lurking around.
