This happened to my Facebook account once, and i stopped it by making a stronger/better password. Try to include at least 6 characters and add some symbols not just letters & numbers

change your password and add a second level of autorization.

whatever

Happened to me, bring in the pro, you have got spyware on your computer the hacker has your password and will continue to do this until you find the spyware on the computer which is alot harder then finding a more common virus
