Another Comptuter Question

I found some malewere on my PC. So i downloaded StopZilla to remove it. Well all it did was to mess up my wife's Facebook Page. When the page opens all of her pictures,friends and comments are missing. The page is blank. What did i screw-up now?

All of the information that your wife sees on facebook comes from the facebook server. Don't worry the information won't be gone.

Your malware software has probably just deleted all of the LSO / flash cookies on your computer. Try a re-boot - facebook will be presented with a "fresh" computer and the preferences for the data you want to see will probably be reloaded... and Bob's you're uncle.

I rebooted this PC 3 times and no fix. Could this be a security problem? It seems like the page tries to open but then stops.

That sounds more like a messed up computer problem - still only forward as they say...

Do you get problems with other web pages or is it just face book?

In firefox addons => install "Beter privacy".

When installed set the directory to scan to be "My Documents".

It will find all of these LSO cookies and delete them.
