Sure enough, my HOSTS file has the line:
210.55.180.156 facebook.com127.0.0.1 localhost

Since Im the only one in this house who even knows what a hosts file is, I doubt anyone here has touched it...

I've just removed the line prior to this, and doing a virus scan now.
Anyone else had a similar problem occurance?

Just another notch to add the 'I hate facebook' pole :sleepy:

What has this got to do with facebook? Running an ip lookup on that address shows a NZ based host for google video.

I didn't bother doing an IP lookup.
I simply assumed facebook because the file was incorrectly pointing to it.

Virus scan turned up clean.
