Unusual loss of friends on Facebook.

Question

Hello,
I don't think I'm the first to bring this up since other people must have the same problem as me on Facebook, namely that I regularly lose friends from my list. For a while, I've been losing one a day for the past four months or so.
I tried to gather information through various means, mainly via the internet, but the problem remains a big mystery.
I've thought of numerous hypotheses, the first one that comes to mind being hacking, then a display bug, and the site administrators (to streamline the servers), etc.
Initially, I changed my login address and password more than a hundred times to no avail, then I stopped using the Firefox browser.
I noticed that when I used a different browser, my number of friends didn't decrease at first, but it only changed by one friend before returning to the actual number, yet that too was a lost cause.
So if you really know what causes this abnormal problem, it would take a huge thorn out of my side because I'm really starting to lose patience. The only reason I'm still on Facebook is that I have friends who don't use instant messaging; otherwise, I would have left a long time ago.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, I am aware of this problem more commonly referred to as "phishing," but I think changing my password from another PC would not be enough because I would reconnect on my PC afterwards, hence the hypothesis of a probable virus.

It happened to me until I changed my password -- Your friend ANNA. You can always talk to me in private!

It has nothing to do with it, this is what we generally do when we have a problem like this, but here it's more complex.
Because I specified in my message that I have already changed it more than a hundred times.

Thank you.

A few questions, in the absence of an answer (just in case...) :

- Do you have confirmation from the friends concerned by this removal that they have never removed you from their friends list?

- Are the concerned friends actually removed? They no longer appear in your friends list? You no longer have access to their information? Is it possible for them to reappear as friends shortly after, without your intervention?

bouateng · Answer

Yes, this has happened to me in the past where some of my friends came back, but that was rarely the case. Yes, for most of the accounts, they indicate to me that these are either invalid names or that they no longer exist. I know that when you limit your data visibility on Facebook, people can no longer see your profile apart from your friends, for example. But the problem is that this loss is cyclical at an average rate of one per day. What do you think?

bouateng · Answer

A few days? How many exactly? Because I ran a scan on my PC and my antivirus found 14 viruses :(

bouateng · Answer

Okay, thank you a thousand times for the advice, I already did a complete cleanup with my antivirus, so I'll try this solution first, but nothing tells me that friends won't delete me in the meantime if I stay absent for a week. :(

bouateng · Answer

Of course, I can imagine that, but until now I was trusting an antivirus not recognized by Windows and claiming to be effective.

bouateng · Answer

the old Spyware Terminator (with the antivirus option) and now I have installed Avira.

HostOfSeraphim · Answer

Avira is a good reference. That's already something :)   -- Configuration: Fedora 13 virtualized on CentOS 5.5 host machine (via VirtualBox)

bouateng · Answer

It is even strongly recommended, in any case, I will try changing the password from another PC, it seems to me to be a good solution to start with, then my PC needs to be free of any viruses or malware.

laura · Answer

Good evening, your problem may be resolved but I was also desperately looking for a solution. While I was digging around in the privacy settings, I tried the blocked friends list and all my lost friends were there... hacking or a bug, the question remains open!
I hope this can help others!

cactus · Answer

thank you because I too have lost many friends

Hello everyone, after observation I noticed that some people have been removed on Facebook because of individuals with bad intentions on Facebook, so these people were removed after investigation. Therefore, day by day, the loss of Facebook friends could be explained this way.
