Is it a virus or repair tool??

Has anyone ever received the pop up from Safari stating: The last website you visited has infected your Mac with a virus. Press OK to begin the repair process. The website shown is eezdownloads.com. I'm not sure if I should press OK or not and I'm locked out of every other function. Thanks

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

This is the best solution that I found: Re: "Virus found" by macupdate . com. Is it a valid Apple site?

Many thanks from me, too. i knew it was a scam but was unsure where to go from there. 😀
