My phone just buzzed with some sort of google looking warning about viruses

[AC Question]

This was on my lg droid. I ignored it but am concerned. Do i need to do anything?

Welcome to Android Central! It was almost certainly a popup browser ad that's designed to scare you into installing something malicious. Ignore it, and avoid the website you were on when this popped up.

I took a picture of it with my regular camera but don't see how to attach one here.

We're familiar with those malicious pop-ups, which often have a fake Google appearance. This may also help: https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=630081

I have regular pictures taken with my Canon camera, the I took photos with my phone of those pics.

Okay. Posting the phone photos will be the same as posting screenshots.

There's probably no need to post the images -- that kind of behavior you're describing is classic for these annoying browser pop-ups. Whatever you do, don't tap any link that might be in the popup. If you have trouble getting out of that screen, tap the Recent Apps button, then swipe away the browser.
