    Hey redbull - it is in the right place :)

    This sounds like a bit of a strange one though :) Are you using facebook on a shared computer? What do you mean by "keeps logging you out" - does this actually happen when you're actively on and using the site?

    Also have you tried logging in, changing your password, and re-logging in using your knew password? Make sure you are using a secure password.

    You should also scan your PC for viruses and spyware in case there is some software logging and using your passwords :)

    If it keeps logging you out, that could suggest a problem with cookies, but if Facebook itself is asking you to change your password each time, that suggests something else is up, perhaps with Facebook and your account itself rather than a problem on your browser.

    For now you could try logging in through a different browser - I would try Chrome browser in Incognito Mode just to have a clean login environment.

    remove all dodgy applications (Probably everything you use)

    Change the password once your already logged in

    Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
    Open malwarebytes and goto UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated goto SCANNER and click PERFORM FULL SCAN then click SCAN
    Remove everything thats found (needs to be ticked)
    Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds


    reboot

    Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/2894/
    Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
    (do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)

    Change your PC's DNS servers to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, go into command prompt and type ipconfig /flushdns (note the space between ipconfig and /flushdns), clear cache and cookies and try again.

    That will fix the problem I'm pretty sure of it :)

    To change the DNS though is another issue ;) - Do you have a wireless router that you can configure? There should be a DNS IP option on your routers administrative page (check the manual) where you can put the IP instead of "obtain automatically".

    If all else fails, contact facebook and explain the problem, they should be able to help you (they probably get this all the time).

    Added applications
    What facebook is famous for, you know the ones...........building a farm for example :rotfl:

    Facebook is full of viruses and applications are the main way through to somones computer. So im asking you to remove the ones that are most likely to be dodgy
