In my apple calendar I have been receiving alerts that I have not placed. Saying that my iPhones protection plan is almost expired or that my iPhone isn’t secure, they won’t allow me to delete. There’s about nine alerts per day with URL’s attached to them. I don’t know if it’s a virus, and if it is. How do I get rid of it?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13
If running iOS 13 or earlier versions, check: Settings - Passwords & Accounts - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.
If running iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.

Keep an eye out for cloudfront in Advanced Website Data. In browser settings. It likes to hangout there too.
i got the solution!!!
my phone was like that too and i got scared haha.
Solution:
Settings > Passwords & Accounts > then you’ll see something about that (sorry i didn’t take a screenshot ) > and then click it and delete it, that’s all,
sorry if you don’t understand, my english is bad hahah
This was the easiest and fastest way for me. Click on settings, calendar, then accounts. And you should see another spam account linked. Click on it and then delete it and you’re done. I cleaned mine already so you won’t see it In the pics I show. The only account you should see linked is your iCloud account.
Go to settings> password and accounts> then you'll see an out of the norm subscription with a bogus name, hit the delete at the bottom and done. No more "virus threat or highlighted green in your calendar.
Since the Apple Support people seem to be absolutely useless let me help you.
Go to Settings > Passwords & Accounts
There should be a tab saying Subscribed Calendars - delete this.
And that't is. It's that simple. And no Apple Support members could tell us this.
There are 4 posts in this thread that say the same thing that you said no one answered. Including the first reply on January 1 from Rudegar that the OP marked as Helpful. Perhaps you should read a thread before responding.
I am sick and tired of these stinking “Calendar “ alerts on my iPhone. I deleted the Calendar app but that did no good. I assume this Calendar gimmick is a tool for Apple to make more money for themselves and have more control over people using iPhones. I for one am done with iPhones. This is the last straw. I’ll get a Samsung phone if this problem persists!

When you do obtain your Samsung, be certain not to click “Allow notifications” when some bogus website you have visited suggests it.
It is your own darn fault for tapping on “free” offers on websites, then allowing the site to install the calendar. You must actually tap “allow” before it can be installed. But don’t worry, on Android phones it doesn’t need your permission, so you will have many more of them. Enjoy all of the additional spam!
I have been getting those calendar notifications and I have tried to go to password accounts on settings however my iPhone is updated and doesn’t have that it only says passwords so what is another way to fix that
You are running a beta version, and cannot get help for it in these public forums. That’s the downside of installing a beta version. If you are a developer or are a seeded invited user you can post in the beta forums, but if you have downloaded the public beta you are out of luck. However, if you search through settings I’m sure you can find where the calendar accounts are defined.
So I had the same thing happen this morning, I went to my colander settings just to turn off the notifications cause they were so annoying, turns out a false email was linked into my calendar, I deleted the email account, and boom, my calendar was normal again. Be careful guys this is no joke.
Your iPhone might not be protected Calendar spam
