The App Store does not present you with those kinds of messages. That is rather an application that is presenting themselves as the App Store and claiming you have viruses on your iPhone, which is not true. Do not interact with it and close out. That is a scam attempt.

You don't have any viruses on your phone, it is a scam message designed to get you to purchase unnecessary software or phish for personal information. This did not come from the App Store or Apple.
