    lads my facebook account was accessed from holland yesterday. My zonealarm firewall also informed me it had blocked to 2035 attempts to access my pc i ran mse sas and malwarebytes and they all came back clean. For the last few i've noticed little things going wrong with my pc such as volume being turned down bit by bit as turn it up. Mouse jumping all over the place by itself and games ie checkers set on easy are impossible. Any help will be much appreciated thanks

    Well something or someone is in your pc. If you cannot remove it better off clean install your os because whatever it is, it can also see everything you type (passwords etc), it takes screenshots of your computer automatically and a lot more.

    So if you have any important accounts that you acces from your computer (aib, permanent tsb etc), better of not using them until your computer is clean. Also i recommand a different antivirus, Kaspersky, Bit defender or Norton should do the job.

    There's no reason why you couldn't do it yourself - you'd learn a good bit about it and you'd know what to do if you ever needed to do it again.

    What OS are you using? Do you have the original installation CDs?
