This message came up when I was opening a new window in the Safari browser and makes all sorts of threats if I don’t call Apple Support at 1-866-726-**** and follow Virus removal procedure immediately. I’m always wary of these things and just want to know if anyone else has run across this particular warning.

It's spam. Read here > Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
Your Mac is ok.
Got a similar message when using Google. It also froze my screen. Still looking for a tool to get the virus.
Read this entire topic (and many others regarding the same thing on these forums). You don't have a virus of any kind. One, there is not, and has yet to be an actual virus in the Mac OS. Two, it's nothing but a scam page trying to convince you to call a scammer who will attempt to charge you lots of money to fix nothing. Or, or to purchase scam software that does nothing and fixes nothing.
How do I stop it from coming up every time I open a new tab?

Install malwarebytes. It will remove the threats.
Thats is what I was adviced to do by apple customer service and it worked
What is a "that"? There are multiple scams that behave and are generated in different ways.
My iphone 6 16GB Infected with the virus
It suddenly turns off and needs to be constantly connected. Otherwise it will turn off in less than a minute
HELP MEEEEE!!!
You don't have a virus, you have a faulty phone. Take it to an Apple Store to have it looked at.
It's fishing, it will always be fishing.
No company contacts their users in this way.
