Don't download anything! This is a type of online scam known as phishing it's used to trick people into downloading a fake application from the internet with the intent of stealing credit card, website usernames, passwords, or other important information.

Never trust any popups claiming you've been infected by anything unless they are directly from your anti-virus or other security program. If you don't have any security installed i'd recommend Avast mobile it's free.
