Well, I'm not to sure what you would do. Was it something along the lines of, "Warning! This apple [device] is infected with viruses and your browser is seriously damaged. You need to remove them immediately. It is necessary to remove and fix now. Don't close this window. **If you leave, you will be blocked**"?

I got one of those notifications and called Apple and he said it was real, and that I should take my devices to Apple to have some anti hack software put in or something. I don't really know for sure. Reading through other replies, it seems like they are saying the notifications are fake but when I called Apple they said they were real? I would just take it in, fake or not, just to be safe. Hope this helps a bit.
