I Received the pop up safari alert warning of major security issues and asking to call the support for Apple toll free number. I can not get rid of the pop up and can't access internet
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.
If that message continues to appear, click here and run Adware Medic. You may need to use a different web browser.

Not working after the scan either.
Any other suggestion ?
That message is usually a JavaScript-based scam, and just locks Safari to that dialog box. Following the steps Niel posted to to reset Safari is typical, though try adding a reboot.
if that fails and if you have plug-ins or add-ons or anti-malware or anti-virus tools installed, remove those per the vendors' instructions, and reboot.
It's also possible that whatever network you're on has a vulnerable router or some other sort of dreck operating; a compromised network. Is this your own local network, or one that's managed by somebody else? Determine if your router firmware current, and ensure that the default router credentials changed. If not, upgrade or secure that.
