    I dont know why this is happening but for the past few weeks, whenever I want to go into facebook it says access denied and I have to change my password each time all over again. It even lets me change it to the same password I always use??? It is only happening with facebook, not email or any other social site. Anyone got any ideas?

    Maybe someone has you Facebook password & is accessing your account and changing it.
    Try resetting the password to something different.

    I think that you should assume for the moment that you have a virus. It's quite possible that every time you change your password, the changes are captured and used by the virus.
