What happens when you download something from a pop up saying that hackers are watching and need to download something to protect my connection? What was downloaded? Is it safe? What actions should be taken?

Most likely that's a scam/phishing attempt.

IGNORE it and DO NOT give any personal info to anyone.

Read this support article about that matter:--> Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
