    Yes, believe it or not, mankind can survive without Facebook,


    Wait a couple of weeks and open a different account with different login details.
  • Change your password on the account to something complex.

    Scan your PC and any laptop you go on for viruses/malware/spyware/etc. Remove any found.

    Change your password again if viruses were detected above.
