Trojan Horse on my iphone?

Hi. Downloaded Talk Stream on my 4s iPhone. Pop up came up saying I had 6 Trojan horse viruses on my phone. Pop up wanted me to go to a site for more information. My wife deleted the app. Was this warning of Trojan horse viruses legitimate or a scam? Advice? Thank you.

its a scam

there are no virus for iOS, just endless scam ads telling you there are.

clear your safari history and stop going to any site that tells you your devices is infected

Clear your Safari browser history and set up content blockers on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

the best security for an iOS device is to keep it up-to-date from Apples available patches. No other software is needed.
