virus alert

virus alert says my " system is seriously damaged, found 4 viruses. " Directing me to "1. download free virus app and 2. download Mac Cleaner to recover system." Should I do this?

Definitely not. There are no viruses that attack the Mac, it is a scam. Ignore it, Macs do not need Anti-Virus apps, nor do they need cleaners or optimisers such as Mac cleaner. Apps like these are more likely to cause problems for your Mac than improve them.
