iPhone virus

It's not a virus. There are no viruses on iPhones. You can remove the problem by seeing below:

If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and AdwareMedic.

Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.

Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.

Quit Safari

Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.

Relaunch Safari

If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.

This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

To get rid of this message on an iPhone, you need to go to Settings -> Safari. In iOS 8, tap the Clear History and Website Data button. In earlier versions of iOS, tap the Clear Cookies and Data button.

Be aware that this message will probably come back if you go back to the website that caused it to appear in the first place. Avoid that site in the future.

That is not even remotely related to the topic being discussed here. You need to start your own discussion to ask about this.

Like an idiot I clicked "ok" on one of these pop-ups before I looked up this thread and figured out how to make it go away. Having clicked "ok", is there any risk to the security of my iPhone? I did not enter any details anywhere, obviously.

No. okay-ing the pop ups is harmless on an iphone. There are no viruses that can affect iOS devices currently.

Thanks Phil. I appreciate the comment.
