When watching a video on Facebook ,etc, the video portion freezes and the sound keeps playing until I hover over it . I am using Wuindows 7. The video will restart when I hover it with pointer/mouse. The same video(s) works fine when using Chrome?

This issue can possibly be caused by malware.


Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
