So I cannot access my facebook account since yesterday. Every time I try, I have problems. If I use Firefox, it just gets stuck loading, never finishing and never letting me do things.

So I cannot access my facebook account since yesterday. Every time I try, I have problems. If I use Firefox, it just gets stuck loading, never finishing and never letting me do things. If I use Internet Explorer, it brings up a message asking me to input my credit card details. The message box itself is in Spanish, but it's fairly obvious it's asking for details and credit card aaccounts.

Anyone have any clue what's gone wrong with my facebook account and how I can fix it?

EDIT: To add, I just logged in on another computer no problem; would it be a virus which only targets Facebook?

It is probably some malicious code targeting Facebook users. Something that you or another user has downloaded.

Did you check the address bar and see what URL was being displayed?
