Virus
I was trying to search on the Internet and a pop-up says that I have a virus and asking me to download an antiviral app from the App Store. Is this legit?

No, it is a scam
Don't click on anything on that page, and don't install anything from it. (You probably couldn't anyway unless the phone is jailbroken)
Don't visit that site again. And be wary of similar searches.
