A computer question concerning security?
Someone is hacking into my FaceBook Account and wiping out my E-Mails, making several FaceBook accounts in my name and I am unable to pull up any of my FaceBook friends etc.
I tried a new account and it still happens. What can I do to stop all this? Thank you for any assistance you might render me.

Cracking a password is not hacking, k?
Secondly seems like a spyware issue, install Avast! And update it, then go to Scan, then to Boot time scan and restart when prompted.
It should detect most viruses.

Install an antivirus program, here's a list of good security software:
Real-Time:
Avira Antivir - http://avira.com/
Avast! Antivirus - http://avast.com/
ESET NOD32 - http://eset.com/
Kaspersky - http://kapersky.com/
BitDefender - http://bitdefender.com/
Real-Time Anti-malware:
SUPERAntispyware - http://superantispyware.com/
Malwarebytes - http://malwarebytes.org/
NOTE: Only download ONE real-time antivirus, if you install two, they will conflict with eachother.
On-Demand:
Hitman PRO - http://surfright.nl/
Pop-up blockers:
Chrome/Chromium - Adblock, Adblock Plus
FireFox - Adblock, Adblock plus
Safari - Adblock
When it finds a virus, delete it.
Go to your Facebook account, make easy-to-guess passwords but make them long. Such as: "ThisIsMyFacebookAccountPassword2000".
Try configuring your security settings on Facebook too. Also get BitDefender Safego, it's an app for Facebook which scans the posts for malicious websites.
On your E-Mail account, do the same thing.

You may have some sort of spyware virus on your computer that tracks and records all your log in info. What you want to do is install malwarebytes and run a full scan, then install Avast and also run a full scan.
