You have encountered a Scam. Apple will never contact you to inform you malware infection. Simply close the browser tab, or if received via email or other messaging platform, delete the message - ensuring that the message has also been deleted from Trash/Bin.

If you are unsure of the source or provenance of a message or alert, do not respond to, or engage with, the message. Certainly do not, under any circumstances, attempt to contact anyone using the contact details that may have been provided within the message itself. If you need to verify a message from Apple, make independent contact with Apple Support.
Most scam alerts are designed to scare the unwary into giving away sensitive information - or to fool you into doing something that you shouldn’t - usually to defraud you financially.
If you suspect that your AppleID has been compromised, follow the advice outlined here:
