Is this is a legit phone virus?

This screen has come up while browsing the internet 2 or 3 times. There were also some pop up "your phone is infected with 7 viruses. Click repair to fix" that came up about 5 times today. I didn't click in fear that it would be an actual virus. As for the picture, I do have an LG escape which makes it seem authentic but i'm still not clicking on anything unless someone knows for sure.

Also, what do you know about that url in the pic?

    Yeh its fake. They want you to download their software to 'eliminate' the 'virus' on your phone. Don't worry you don't have any viruses. Their just pop ups. Hope this helps! :)

    I'd get an antivirus app to be sure. It might be a trick to get you to click it. I like the AVG app.
