After changing the DSN server, it seems to be working fine. But I'll have to keep an eye in case it doesn't connect later on. And no, a full scan didn't find anything wrong.
After a while it stopped working. I've also tried other internet services to the same results. No response with the www.facebook.com link, but the 66.220.149.11 IP link is working for now.
That looks like a nasty little bugger.
Try downloading rkill/iExplore from the free tools thread I have in this forum. Put it on your desktop. Restart the computer and boot into Safe Mode (usually by pressing F8 when your computer first boots). Once into Safe Mode, run rkill/iExplore and see if it does anything. Then try running a full MSE scan again.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to search out the manual removal instructions.
You're not very good at answering all of my questions.
Do you have Adobe products besides flash player on your machine? Have you tried accessing it through a proxy?
Had After Effect, have Photoshop and Bridge. And I don't know how to access via a proxy.

Which safe mode should I use (there are 3 options for safe mode)?

Holy crap that program got rid of the last virus (I have used about 6 other programs which got rid of the first part). My firewall is back on and my action center is on as well thank you.

Try that.
That program stops it from running, and MSE should hopefully come behind and clean it up. And you want just regular safe mode, not command prompt or networking.
I can get the page, I can't log in though.
After adding # in front of every IP address except the Facebook ones, it seems to be working fine. However, every time I save MSE says a threat is detected but also says "no action required". I assume it's because I'm tampering with important files.
EDIT: And after a while, the links stopped working. This is starting to piss me the hell off.
You don't have to login. Just type in Facebook's address in the URL bar provided.
What are you talking about here? I'm confused. Are you talking about the hosts file?
I did. It says I need to enable cookies.
When I edit the host files and save, it works fine for a bit, but then goes right back to not connecting.
Hmm...works fine for me.
Please answer this question for me. When you can access Facebook on your phone, is your phone using the same Internet source as your computer? Or are you connecting to Facebook using a data plan for your phone?
The phone has it's own data plan. It's Sprint. However, come to think of it, even though when on the computer I've used multiple internet connection's and are technically different sources (one is a USB card the others were broadband) they have so far been the same provider.
I managed to log in via Hide My Ass. The result was kinda odd:
Also, after rebooting the computer, the changes I made to the hosts file were gone.
Hmm, I'm guessing the problem is your machine. Try this link.

And then boot into Safe Mode and run a virus scanner. It really does sound like you have some kind of malware on there hijacking your browser.
Reset the host files and full scanned the PC on safe mode. After a restart and retrying... Nothing.
Is your PC Firewall on? Do you have a wireless router?
I found the solution. Now that I think about it, it should've been the first thing to do. Seems an update on Windows' part blocked me out. I ran a second full scan afterwards just in case to clean results. System Restore.
Sorry to bother, had the same problem. Again. However, this time I was able to get a different, but still being tested solution. I was suggested that Windows' installed web filter may be a problem as it might block Facebook due to some features. So I went to it and added Facebook as "https://www.facebook.com" to it's list of Safe websites. It's worked perfectly since but given how every time I "fixed" it, be it changing the IP address, DNS, System Restore and such after a while it may just go right back to not connecting. My question is if it's really possible that the web filter may block certain pages like that.
[EDIT] Nevermind, it went right back to being unresponsive.

How does one delete a false movie file from one's system directory?
I downloaded a movie file that turned out to be a decoy movie file (created by a grubby little cockroach building malicious computer software in his parents' basement while boning his pet dog because the family cat rejected this sad sad person's advances; you know who you are, get a real job you disturbed little freak!).
Now I cannot delete the file because Windows, in all of its "robot with advanced autism" wisdom, has decided that the file "is being used by another person or program."
Can anyone please tell me how to avert this crisis before I start slamming my laptop against the wall?

How serious are you about wanting to figuring out this problem? How much RAM and hard drive space does your computer have?
I'm going to assume you were trying to download a movie illegally, which makes it humorous that you are criticizing another person's integrity.
It depends...is this a virus file? If it is, you run Microsoft Security Essentials. If it's not, you plug your laptop in, reboot into Safe Mode (usually by pressing F8 when you first turn your laptop on, before it boots into Windows) and try deleting it that way. If that doesn't work, try the program Unlocker.

Try that. You might have options to keep the file size down lower, by reducing quality of recording and the frame rate.
