Is this a legitimateApple address?

Is this a legitimate Apple address.***://apple.com-officialmessage.*** Page popped up and prompted me to download MacKeeper to fix a virus issue. A bogus loking scan was done on the page in to seconds. And it claimed it registered a virus in my iMac. The link i clicked when this page popped up, opened a promotion page before, for CandyOnClick. A well professional looking scam give away iPhone 6 for $1. Thanks.

It's certainly not legitimate. If you did follow the prompt to download MacKeeper, it should be uninstalled immediately as that software is a scam as well.
