I have a PC I use only for facebook and I use facebook only on that pc.

I don't do any transactions on that pc.

Today I was struggling with it. The cursor wasn't doing what I wanted. It was going all over the place. So I stopped fighting it.
The cursor then moved to the settings pages and changed the language to what looked like sand script. I powered down the pc. The last thing I saw changed was my birth date.
A little later, I powered the pc up and checked over all my settings, correcting those that were changed.

Wow! That was strange.

Yep.
If there are any not strange posts on facebook, it's not me.

You need to do more than just change your Facebook password.

You have a key logger running most likely.

I’d be removing all other devices from your network until you sort that one out..

Easy for that PC to infect your network.

Mick..... what Mike said, I'd treat it like mike is right until you are sure he's not..... a good hunt for something feral before it spreads...

I don't think there is a key logger running. It seems he took control through the web browser.
If things change again without me being logged in, that would be an indication a key logger is installed.

Oh, and it's not my network. Who knows who is on it?
