I just sent a message on Facebook, and the next thing you know I was logged out of Facebook.

It brought me automatically to the FB login screen.

So I entered my password.

And then there was a FB page saying that it appears my PC is being affected by malware, and it would help me clear it up, with a tab that said "Enter".

So I've just clicked on the X in the upper right corner of the Chrome browser, and that tab is closed.

If I try to go back to FB's main page, it asks again for my password.

Any suggestions for what to do? I'm running Advanced System Care now, to see if it catches anything. Other than that, should I trust the FB page that wants to "clean up" the alleged malware?

I've never seen anything like this, but I have heard of people getting their FB accounts hijacked, so I want to avoid that problem.....
