Hello there,
So last night I was reading up on some wrestling news on my iPhone when suddenly the website redirected and I got two pop ups saying my phone has 6 viruses (some Trojan the text is blocking the Trojans name) and to download My Mobile Secure to remove viruses. I'm not sure if this is scareware or a legit virus. I will post both screenshots so you can see. Thank you.

I followed Eric's instructions, only the clear history and website... line is greyed out. What does this mean? Thank you.
Its a scam. There are no known viruses that can affect iOS devices.
It's a scam. The only time a message warning of malware in a Mac OS X or iOS web browser will be legitimate is if you've just uploaded a file to a website; they cannot scan the devices, but can scan files which were uploaded to them(it's done on the server.)

On an iPhone it is never legitimate. Follow Eric's instructions.
I have got the same message tonight also
You are welcome.
Thank You! This is exactly what was needed to get rid of the annoying virus warning.
Still a scam. Still no known viruses that can affect non jailbroken iPhones.
Mi teléfono le pasa mucho virus
No hay virus conocidos que afecten iPhones. Si están apareciendo esos mensajes ignoralos.
Puedes abrir Ajustes->Safari->Borrar Historial y Datos , y generalmente ayuda.
Why would you say that about Eric. I sincerely would like to know because I just had something similar happen and I need to know what to do.
