Android/HTC Inspire virus?

I got this phone for christmas. Now I get a notice on my phone whenever I play Mahjong (downloaded weeks ago) on it, and it just started today; the little Android icon is popping up and down from an envelope where the ads usually are and it reads "Virus Alert! Scan now." Before, it was saying that I had viruses. I don't know if this is a legitimate alert, or if the icon itself leads to a virus that it's trying to get me to download.
Is it a legitimate alert or is the alert fake? Is the alert a virus itself?

How do I get rid of a virus on my phone?
