    Doubt it will -all other links from Virgin to the internet are fine still.
    Might leave fiance at his place with his Virgin connection and go home and use my Sky one ;)

  • All you peeps that are having problems with just facebook rather than internet. If you are using Avast antivirus with Firefox, there seems to be an incompatibility with Avast's latest update and the Avast online security add-on (Firefox only) when accessing facebook.
    If you go into add-ons option on Firefox and disable Avast online security, that may be causing the problem?
    Good Luck :)
  • Aghhhhhhhhhh come back FB pls

    May good luck be your friend in whatever you do and may trouble be always a stranger to you.

    It's certainly the link between Virgin and FB -It is more likely to be down to FB's servers as if it was Virgin's it would affect other sites too.

    Which wouldn't explain why it also doesn't connect in IE though.

    Adding the google DNS server worked nicely on Win7 though.
