Q: Fake virus?
I got this from clicking on a url on my laptop. It looks like support page but none of the buttons at the top "mac, ipad, iphone..." are clickable. The time started counting down from 2 minutes and nothing happened at 0.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 9.3.5, fake virus alert

That is not an Apple website. You are being scammed by some of the criminals who lurk on the Web. They are lying to you to get access to your mac, and eventually, your money.
Anyone on the web can run a simple script that shows your IP Address, do not be impressed.
If Apple had detected such a Virus, it would have been removed at startup.
No one can detect that you have a Virus from outside your Mac!
