MacBook Pro- virus warning

I started getting warnings that my MacBook Pro is infected with virus etc. and it requires urgent attention. I know this is spam, but I am not sure how I can remove the source of this issue. Can anyone help please? A screenshot of one of warning messages is attached.

Thanks

Are virus warning pop ups "Viruses found" "system is at risk" real? How to deal with virus warning pop ups? Hi Apple Community, My MacBook Air started to have virus warning pop ups multiple times daily last week. (Please see the first picture) After I clicked "Viruses Found" warning, McFee Total Protection safari browser popped up (see picture 2). After I clicked "System is at risk" warning, PlayStation Sweepstakes draw chrome browser popped up. (see picture 3) I think the warnings are probably fake but they have Mac's system setting logo. I got this MacBook Air in May 2022 and I never downloaded any AntiVirus software. Does anyone know how to deal with this situation? Thank you in advance!
