IF A REMOTE WEBSITE COULD SCAN YOUR DEVICE, IT WOULD BE A SECURITY AND PRIVACY CATASTROPHE.
That would mean every clown-run and crook-run website on the whole ‘net could access and scan and upload your data.
What you saw was an advertisement, and an advertisement lied to you about scanning and about malware, usually advertising some rubbish VPN app you don’t need for a problem you don’t have.
Ignore it.
