i got locked out of one of my accounts because facebook thinks i downloaded some worm. so when i try to log in i end up with a redirect to /roadblock
well, i continue and prove that its my account by identifying people and then i get some safety tips and then im told to download a mcafee thing and that after the scan i can continue.
but after i download mcafee it wont run, and i tried this whole prosses at least 6 times
almost a week later and i still cant get in and im instead getting a message along the lines of 'you have reached your hourly limit for tries' and this resets at random, not even every hour.
how do i get past this? (also, i ran the most up to date version of malware bytes and did a full scan and came up with nothing)

it is a feature from facebook.

it told my about the worm, its called something with a Y (it vague i know. sorry.)

the virus scan DL is still from the road block. i scanned the thing with malware bytes and its clean.

facebook.com/roadblock

facebook did partner with McAfee and the whole thing IS legit. but thats not my issue. its that it wont let me continue past where it says i reached the hourly limit.

i would then see pictures of people i know and i would name them, then i would get the safety paragraph, then the McAfee thing.
