  • Try running Chrome without your extensions. There could be one that's had a brain transplant, or one that's simply malicious.

it looks that your browser been hijacked. You can easily fix these issues. You need to reset all of your browsers' settings, clean unwanted, suspicious extensions of and probably scan your system with some kind of anti-virus or anti-malware tool. These programs can find possible threats since browser hijacker come silently it might carry other stuff around. Resetting, cleaning might help even if your system is affected by adware. These PUPs also cause redirects. Anti-malware detects all intruders.

    Alternatively, if you did in fact type in the url facaebook.com precisely, then it may just be this is what that website does.



    Going to facaebook.com now redirects me to a malicious site.
    It seems to just redirect almost at random to other sites, potentially the ones that you ended up on.



    So it is possible that you don't actually have any malware on your computer (though checking is always good) but just type the facebook.com incorrectly.



    The fix is just to close the window and possibly report it.
    You can report sites like this as shown in this post: https://superuser.com/a/224803/



    I would recommend reporting it Mozillas/Google database which can be found here:
