To get rid of viruses
Some advertisement that included “you have (3) viruses” or other such?
there is nothing to remove. No virus.
We all see these—this and many other shady advertisements—on the internet.
Advertisements are common, and some—such as this advertisement—are profitable for the advertiser.
Yes, this “you have (3) viruses” stuff is an advertisement, pretending to be something it’s not: a malware scan.
This advertiser also lied, as websites cannot scan your local storage. (If a website could scan, the sketchy folks responsible for this and other sketchy advertisements would just steal all our data. But websites can’t scan. So this advertiser lied.)
The advertiser would prefer you go buy some app you don’t need for a problem you don’t have, because that’s profitable for the advertiser.
Ignore the ad. No virus, nothing to remove, nothing wrong.
This ad is one of many sorts of scams, too: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
