Please read Phony "tech support" / "ransomware" popups and web pages.
If that describes the web page you encountered, and you successfully navigated away from that web page, then no other actions are necessary or justified.
To reiterate:
- should I be worried
No.
- what actions should I take
None. Acting upon any information appearing in the fraudulent pop-up is what leads to trouble. Whatever it said doesn't matter, because it is an attempt to defraud you one way or another.
