I had the same with my laptop. Try upgrading your browser: Internet explorer, Google, Firefox or what ever one you use. Or try searching for fb, and going in that way.

I think its to do with the Government shutting down all websites that are rubbish and wasting too much of the populations time! I think its their preference that we spent the time on archery practice instead! ;)

Now, wheres me bow and arrows......

1) Open internet explorer and go to "tools" then "internet options" and check restricted sites.
2) Go to your routers webpage (192.168.x.x) and check that it's not blocked.
3) check your hosts file (instructions below).

Try going to computer > Hard disk > Windows > system 32 > drivers > etc > Hosts file
Right click on the hosts file and open it in notepad and see if facebook is listed.

Let me know your results.

prob a trojan infection or a bad cookie
that one of the signs

run windows live on-line virus scanner

then download and run glary utils

might be an idea to tick the 'empty internet/browsing history' tickbox too
tools/intenet options/advanced
