No. Any web site or popup from one that says you're infected will xxxx viruses is a scam. Just close the page.

Can my iPhone get a virus from visiting a website? I only use the google chrome app for browsing. But I have started to wonder if my device could get a virus from entering a website? I have heard that the safari browser is safe, but not much about 3rd party browser apps like chrome. (My iPhone is not jailbroken.)
