The MacOS security center popped up.

I was on a website, reading it, when all of the sudden the MacOs security center popped up. It said that my device had a virus. Anyone know what to do?

MacBook Air, macOS 13.5

No. It didn't, because there is no such thing. What popped up was a bogus popup from the web site you were on trying to scam you into downloading something or even worse, giving your credit card number to a criminal.
