Its Skype spam. Don't click the link or add the person to your contact list, just block them.

I clicked the link and a 100% valid and believable Windows virus scanner (it's a known fact, that any browser can be used to virtualise Windows)

scanned my Mac and found these:

Anyway, OP, it is just a scam, nothing to worry about. It is aimed at ignorant Windows users and trying to get them to pay 40 USD to do an online repair.

I get skype spam like this all the time. Don't ever believe any Skype message trying to sell you something. EVER.

dang, ok thanks a lot. I have heard things about macs and viruses like that they don't exist, or there is only one known virus for them and all this other stuff. I don't really know what's true so I was worried.

No viruses for Mac OS X: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1063304/

I get that same message all the time. Never worry about it. I've never clicked on it either haha. Stupid Spam

Like everyone else said, it is spam so just ignore it. And there are no viruses for OS X there are a few trojans out there, but you have to choose to install them and enter your admin password.

My favorite part of those screenshots is that it found danger on the DVD drive.
