I received an alert that I had a virus and he was invited to dial a toll-free number; Is it a scam?

I received a notice that I had a virus and I had to call a toll-free number to contact apple immediately.  He said that my personal information had been stolen and that I should contact apple to be walked through the steps of removing him.  I never got this kind of message or prior warning.  Is it a scam?

Yes, it is, don't call him.
