Have A "Security Threat Analysis" Problem
While browsing with Firefox today, I received a pop up box warning me of a "Security Threat Analysis" and inviting me to click "OK" to start the analysis. The Firefox browser window showed "www1.avforall119.co.cc" I tried to shut the box using the red "X" and the Firefox window minimised. Thereafter, I could not get Firefox to open except in the minimised "Security Analysis" window.
I have scanned with Windows Defender and Malwarebytes, but nothing found. Meanwhile, I have been able to get an operational Firefox back by uninstalling it and reinstalling it. However, I am concerned that there is still a hidden nasty on my PC. Grateful for advice as to what to do next.

You probably picked something up when you clicked on the red X in that window - in the future you should open the Windows Task Manager > Processes tab and kill the process that exploit opened.
First thing to do is to update your AntiVirus program definitions, and then run a full, deep scan of your PC.
Second, I don't know how good Windows Defender is, but Malwarebytes seems to pickup like 90% - only, you should do a scan using other programs, too.

Thanks very much for your help, the-edmeister. So far, I've scanned with Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, Ad-Aware, Superantispyware, Spybot Search and Destroy and my anti-virus software. Nothing nasty found, so far.
I have the same problem
