some sort of facebook problem

usually, around six in the evening, facebook stopps working on my laptop, but will work on the other halfs. i just ran a scan on malwarebytes and it didn't solve the problem, or find any infections. i've no idea why it works on his but just suddenly stops on mine:confused:

the little page loading bar at the bottom doesn't do anything, then it's eventually says page cannot be displayed:mad:

help please!!! pretty please??!!

  • Is any sort of scan scheduled to run at that time on your comp??
    Can you get on other busy sites at that particular time?
