A virus warning from a scam number (844-423-2467) keeps popping up in Safari and I can't cancel it. It just keeps coming back. How do I get rid of it and get Safari back running? Thanks
iPad Air, iOS 9.3
Quit Safari ( use the Force Quit option in the menu if you need). Relaunch Safari from the Dock icon while holding down the Shift key.

I'm using an Ipad. Do not have a menu, so no force quit option. Do not have a dock icon etc. Thanks anyway.
On an iPad, clear your Safari history. The exact phrasing of this option differs for different versions of iOS (which you also didn't identify 🙂), but the path to it is:
Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data > confirm.
