Give the scans a try to see how it turns out. Seems like you have a hole in your network. Change the network password and don't go near FB and see if you have any foreign log ins.

I've not been on Facebook for while. Last time was about week ago just to check all in order. Nothing suspicious since I wiped laptop in nov. trying scans and will let you know?
Just out of interest, if someone with legitimate access was monitoring my use could this cause these issues and how would I identify it?
Hard to tell but I don't think someone with legitimate access would need a malware to monitor your activity.
BTW, just logging on FB could expose you to infections if all the right permissions, like, friends, etc. are already in place. The people who do that are quite smart, and ratbags.
If you haven't enabled MAC filtering on your router, do so. This will only allow authorised devices to connect and not others, even if they have the correct SSID and password. Incidentally, for your password go to https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm
Hi,
You've already received some good advice regarding malware scans and the MAC filtering on your router. I'd like to make a few more suggestions:
1. Perform a scan for rootkits using this tool:

2. Also ensure that no one can access your computer remotely, by following these steps:
Click
Right-click My Computer
Click Properties
Click Remote Settings
Ensure your panel looks like this:
In addition run a full Malwarebytes
and SUPERAntiSpyware.com - Downloads.
Once you are clear of infection, work through the Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 for establishing a Clean Boot, checking system resources for solving problems, Generate a System health report, check logs for repeat errors to resolve, SFC /scannow, and the rest. Report back results.
