You probably don't actually have a virus. What happened is a malicious website probably added a bunch of events to your calendar to make you think you have a virus. In your calendar app click on "calendars" at the bottom in the middle. If there is a calendar you don't recognize click the "i" symbol next to it and then scroll down and click "Delete Calendar." If it made the events in your main calendar just make a new calendar and delete your current calendar. You will lose your current calendar, but at least you won't have constant pop-ups.
Did that it keeps appearing
Did you try the YouTube video? If you go back to wherever you agreed to this rogue calendar it will come back.
