If ISPs are to notify you that you are violating their terms of service, they ought to notify you reliably. If you received a popup on your computer, then more than likely, a virus is tricking you into thinking that your ISP is going to terminate your Internet service.
You should know who your Internet service provider is, so you should also know how they send you notifications about their service.
If you received an email, check the sender for authenticity. A fake email can be identified by lots of misspellings, a suspicious 'From:' field, low quality JPEG images, mysterious links, etc. Furthermore, I've never heard of people who work for ISPs call themselves 'admins'.
