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?

You got tricked into installing a rogue calendar; your phone does not have a virus.
If your phone has iOS 13 or earlier: Go to Settings/Passwords & Accounts, look under Subscribed Calendars, tap on the offending calendar and delete it.
If your phone has iOS 14: Go to Settings/Calendar/Accounts, Tap Subscribed Calendars, tap on the offending calendar and delete it.
And in the future beware of "free" offers

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.

iOS 13: Settings / passwords & accounts - scroll down to Subscribed Calendars, tap on the rogue calendar and tap Delete.
iOS 14: Settings / Calendar/ accounts - scroll down to Subscribed Calendars, tap on the rogue calendar and tap Delete.
and don’t accept “free” offers in the future.
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.

Go to settings—— password and account—- in account you will see some wired account added like in my case it was subscription.. just delet that account and it’s all set.
go to settings -> calendar -> accounts -> you will see strange account there -select it and then hit delete. Just had this happen to me and that is how I resolved it!!
On the IOS 14 update is different you have to go to settings then calendar and once your there it will show accounts you click on it and delete the one that says subscription or something like that and it’s all gone.
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 >> Calendar >> accounts> then delete that account

check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts
simply select and delete spam accounts,
Go to settings > password and accounts > under accounts there’s going to be a different email that you don’t know press on it and delete it
Go to settings- calendar- then see the accounts there is one called ( press OK to continue) just delete it
Your iPhone might not be protected Calendar spam
