Iphonewinstoday.com scam is caused by an adware which was possibly accidentally set up onto the computer. The main aim of these false advertisements is to deceive users into dialing supposed tech-support who would first ask for remote access to your computer, and then install overpriced, possibly useless software. If an advertising-supported program is indeed responsible, expect quite intrusive ads. If you negligently install freeware, it isn't surprising you picked up an advertising-supported application. The alerts are not going to endanger your machine, as long as you don't call the con artists. The con artists on the other side of the phone will ask you to give remote access to your OS, and then try to make you believe that they have fixed the issue (which does not even exist in the first place), for which they would charge you a lot of money. Authorizing some suspicious tech-support to have remote access to your device might turn out to be a very bad idea, so you need to be cautious. And when it comes to this alert, just ignore it, you're OS isn't in danger, neither is your data. The warnings will only stop appearing when you eliminate Iphonewinstoday.com scam, so the sooner you do that, the better.
