    That is definitely a virus or something like that.  Did you try typing in https://www.facebook.com in the address bar? (I'm assuming you are clicking on a bookmark right now)  It's kinda hard to help without seeing exactly what it's doing.

    Yes, I did still takes me to aol. The other weird thing is half of the time it doesn't do it and then all of a sudden it does! We do have virus protection but I know some viruses can still get through. I wonder why it only does it when I try to go to facebook?

    Because Facebook is one of the biggest things right now... it's a prime target for hackers and easy to nab people because a majority of the population that use it are not technically inclined enough to do anything to avoid it.  Not saying that you don't know any better  :)

    What Anti virus software are you using?

    It's okay, I'm really not computer savvy! We are using Trend Micro Anti-Virus.

    Also, another thing....when I get a link in an email to another website (from people i know) it sends it to aol but an aol page that says" oops sorry that link appears to be broken".

    Yeah, a lot of the big name anti-virus softwares are targets for hackers too...  McAfee, Norton, Trend.... hackers know  :D

    I really wish I could help more!  :)
