A screen opens and I get the following audio message: A username and password are being requested by http://proton22.xyz. The site says "Mozilla browser is blocked to avoid data theft in your computer, Suspicious traces found. Call immediately at: 1-844-692-6305"

. Whenever you get a message / popup like that;

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS OR ANY PHONE NUMBERS ! !

Such messages are only Spam that could lead you to Fake Support. Not only can they damage or hack your system, they charge you to do so.

You can report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery
