Trojan virus by someone called defense browser. Com browser

First, you are not going to get a virus from Apple or it's products. You Operating system has a built in defense against viruses called gatekeeper. It's part of the operating system. I don't know much about this product called Defense Browser. But you could download and run Malwarebytes. Just to check.https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac

There is no such thing as a Trojan virus, and no way for a website to tell that there's malware on a macOS or iOS system unless you manually uploaded a file to it. Except as noted, all messages warning of malware in a web browser are scams.

There is no way on Earth that I would click on a browser popup (regardless whether it is Safari, Chrome, Edge, etc.), that told me I have a virus. No one remote can scan your computer and know whether or not you have a virus. You would have to allow such remote access.

Apparently I was misunderstood. I clicked on nothing. I typed in google search for defense browser to see what it was and it took me to the App Store that said (not available in US). Now if this is a pop up alert and not something on the OP computer then it is a scam, not to be clicked on. Thats why I said that it gives me pause.

Do not respond to scam phishing popups or emails.
