How can I get rid of all these errors?

As this is not a Firefox question, you should consider asking this in a forum that specializes in Windows questions, such as Eileen's Lounge - http://eileenslounge.com/

With which program did you do the scanning?

If you got a pop-up from visiting a web site then what you saw was an animation and not a scan done on your computer.
