It's a scam designed to have you pay for useless software or services.

Ignore it.

Virus Does Apple prompt a message on your web about viruses? I got this weird virus page that popped up in my phone and it seems fake because it says from previous adult websites. But I don’t use them so? And what is the best virus blocker you guy have used?
