Virus? When I close facebook, a window with a million tabs pops up..?
Recently, when I log out of Facebook and close the window, another internet window opens titled "About:blank" with the facebook log-in screen on it. I try to close it, but it keeps opening another "About:blank" tab and then another and another..! I can't end the program because it continues to open another tab. Is this a virus? I just scanned my computer with McAfee, and it didn't find anything. I find it hard to believe it's just a glitch on Facebook or something.
Has this happened to anyone?

To another answerer, the virus "koobface" is a infection that logs into the users account and sends spam through their email. This is not a case of the koobface infection.
To the asker, there is definitely a infection on your computer. Please try scanning your computer with another antimalware software, such as http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ , and ad-aware as stated by another answerer. The more scans you can run, the better. If it doesn't pick up anything, or if you cannot solve the problem, please consider joining my forum below to better assist you ;).

Definitely sounds like a virus or, more likely, ad/spyware. Try scanning with Lavasoft's AdAware or AVG's Free Antivirus.
