It's a scam. A message warning of malware in an iOS or Mac OS X web browser will only be legitimate if it's in response to a file being manually uploaded to a website; they cannot scan the devices, but can scan files which were uploaded to them(it's done on the server.)


If you're using Safari, clear its data; the instructions vary for different browsers, and may require deleting and redownloading it.
