I have "security analysis - Mozilla FFox" page that says I have just received 20 viruses; Page is frozen; Scans show nothing wrong.
Top line title of page is " Security Analysis - Mozilla Firefox" and URL/address line showed "http:/apv.com.ve/p8vMI46x". This page said I have 20 viruses and that "Windows Security is infected". The lower half of the page is a list of viruses and locations. (Windows scan and Ad-Aware scan showed no threats.) It has a button titled "Start Protection" and when selected, generates a pop-up that says "continue or cancel". But this lower half of the page seems frozen and unresponsive. Checking the URL in "history" says the page cannot be found. Is this a legitimate Mozilla security message/page? If so, what is next step? If not,--- same question. Thx, Jp

No, it is not a Mozilla security message, it's a fake scan. Do not download anything from that website. Look in the Windows Task Manager > Processes tab and kill the process that is running that fake scan.
That is malware masquerading as an anti-virus product. By clicking on the screen you have probably infected your system. You probably picked it up on an infected web site.
Do a thorough malware scan.
Download, install and update as many of the following as possible until your infections are cleaned.
- The free versions of these scanners will detect infections and clean your system; no need to purchase
- Different malware scanners detect some malware that other scanners do not.
- If you are unable to download the malware programs,
- change the name of the installer program before saving the download to your hard drive, and
- once installed, go to the installation folder for the program and change the name of the program executable file (i.e., for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, change mbam.exe to xyz-mb.exe), then update the program and run the scan.
- you may need to download on an un-infected computer, change the name of the installer program, copy the installer to a CD or USB thumb drive, and transport to your system for installation.
- Some stubborn malware will need to be removed in Windows Safe Mode with Networking. See:
