A 'self-appointed adguard' may be a ruse to install their adware malware &/or may be phishing expedition.
Hopefully you've not taken any bait they've offered. Choose valid solutions instead.
The App Store has some too. A few may be OK.
Tried malwarebytes for iOS once, said it had free initial use.
Hard to remove during first day; was rid of it within an hour.
I've not used anything since; instead I try to not click on ads.

Yes, it's a scam designed to scare you into downloading useless software.
Ignore it.
Download an ad blocker that doesn't engage in such sleazy advertising to stop seeing those kind of ads.
Thks for your advice, Johnathan!
