Ever get a virus on your phone?

Yesterday my cell phone screen started flashing with a loud sound saying I had viruses. Now every time I use the phone , the text sound alert keeps playing multiple times all DAY from the virus page I assume. I guess it's saying to buy antivirus program but I am buying a new phone soon so not doing that. Anyone know how to stop this sound alert ? And should you install a free antivirus on a new phone?

To be safe, just do a hard reset on the phone. Of course, to do this all your data (contacts, etc) needs to have been backed up to the cloud.
