That message was NOT from the FBI, or any other law enforcement agency. If they catch you doing something illegal online, and care to do something about it. your FIRST notice is delivered by the man at the door with a badge and a search warrant.
Had you clicked on anything in the popup window, it would have downloaded what is known as 'ransomware', which essentially locks your computer and demands payment to unlock it.
I recommend a COMPLETE virus scan in any case.
