Default Help!
I just tried to log into facebook, but got this message....

Someone recently tried to log into your account from an unknown browser. Please review this login.

When I click continue it takes me back to the login page

Have I been hacked? my laptop is acting a bit strange too

An unknown browser? Sounds a strange reason to lock the account :/ You could have just changed browsers

Check that you are trying to log into the actual facebook site and its not a phishing scam. Read the site address at the top of the page very carefully. Scammers will often purchase a domain that at a casual glance will look exactly like the site that you are trying to access, but will have a one letter difference. Something like PayPaI.com for example.

That is the last thing you should do. If its a phishing scam that is exactly what they want you to do.

Copy and paste the url onto here.

Don't change the password, do what verbal said and check the url, sounds like a scam.

The scammers already have your password now, change it quickly before they can use it

Sounds like there is malicious software on your laptop. Download and run these on your laptop.

Also make sure your antivirus is up to date and run that and then set it to run on a regular basis.

I was thinking that you might have Snap.Do or something similar to it.

Kizzy if there is something nasty lurking on your laptop it might not let you download or run those files, so if you have any problems then rename them.

If you are using more than one device that is a normal warning. Normally asks you if you recognise the other device as well.
